Hunting On the Yangtze

October/November 2021 - The journey begins!

We are showcasing three different cocktail styles with the ingredients in our flagship crate. Choose which style you would like to make with us, or make them all!

  • Our Proper Version is the standard recipe that we develop

  • An Elevated Version uses advanced techniques and a commonly found perishable ingredient that we are unable to safely provide

  • A Modified Version uses some of the ingredients from the proper version, but changes up the recipe and technique to create a completely different cocktail experience

Each crate provides enough spirit and ingredients for a total of 4 cocktails. We throw in a little extra of our handcrafted mixers, just in case you want to experiment and make a few more cocktails…

 

Cocktail styles: Options for fruity and refreshing, light yet indulgent, or rich viscous spirit forward styles - all in one crate

Flavor profile: Apple and citrus notes paired with warm fall spice aromas and flavors with a hint of complex herbal undertones

Spirit Base: A citrus forward new world style gin with subdued juniper notes and a bitter amaro are showcased in the three different cocktail styles

Bartender techniques: Using three separate techniques to craft three unique cocktails, we are shaking, stirring, and using a ‘dry shake’ method for the elevated cocktail

Final thoughts…

We think that this cocktail would have also worked very well with a wheated bourbon, however we loved it with the new world style of gin. We have provided a few extra measures of our mixer if you have some bourbon to experiment with!
