Count Me In Cocktails

Working on a global garden martini with notes of tomato, pandan, and huauzontle! I will soon be topping this martini with a basil air on top!! Here is it in the works!
Recipe below:

Global Garden Martini

• Blend 4 tomatoes and 1 stalk of huauzontle with 1/2 cup water
• Strain out solids
• Run remaining liquid through a coffee filter
• Add 37% of the volume of the liquid in lime juice to the mixture
• Clarify in a mixture of coconut oil and coconut cream/milk to clarify

• 2oz Global Garden Mixture
• 1oz simple syrup
• .75oz pandan liqueur
• 1.5oz Revitalist or Citadelle Gin

So excited to be competing in the ‘Art of Restraint’ cocktail competition hosted by Gioia Bar in New Haven, CT— sponsored by Campari!
Hope to see you there on Tuesday the 17th of February @ 6:30pm at the rooftop bar!

Trying to make a cocktail with homemade pistachio orgeat. The syrup is very sweet, floral, and rings lightly nutty notes (lighter than traditional almond orgeat).
I believe it needs a complex spiced alcohol to compliment the light nuttiness and overall flat tones and an acid (of course) to balance the sweetness.
I tried a brandy aged in oak barrels and found that a split base with white rum worked decently, but could be better.
Lime is the obvious choice for me, but I am super open to other acids for balance.
I am also super open to riffing classic cocktails, but don’t want to simply work with a pistachio mai tai or pistachio army & navy!
