Craft cocktails are all the rage and I’ve been experimenting with small batch liquors and various aromatics for a couple years now. Last week, I was approached about publishing some cocktail recipes and this one seemed to be tailor-made for me! The drink was created by Ian Hardie of Huckleberry Bar in Brooklyn.

Caorunn is handcrafted and small batch Scottish gin that is infused with handpicked botanicals, inspired by Celtic tradition.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 parts Caoruun
• 1/2 parts St. Germain
• 1/2 parts Aperol
• 3/4 parts lemon juice
• 2 dashes Peychaud’s bitters

Directions:

1. Shake all ingredients and add to a coupe glass.
2. Garnish with a grapefruit twist.

Makes one drink.
