Don’t Mind If I Do

At first glance, we were a little skeptical of this recipe from Christopher Flett at Vancouver’s Pourhouse. It’s got the screwiest proportions, with a massive amount of lime juice, tons of sweet, and a relatively small portion of alcohol.

But we gave it a try, and you should, too – the blending of flavors is practically Technicolor, it’s so bright. Flett calls for Hendricks gin in his recipe, and the rose-herb flavors really shine here. In fact, any “special” gin you’ve been hiding away would be fantastic; we really enjoyed it with a lovely barrel-aged “reposado” gin.

An awesome cocktail app with curated recipes

I'm shocked that there are no reviews listed for this app. I found it on reddit's cocktails forum. The drink list in this app is much shorter than in many of the other apps I've seen, but the quality and reliability of the recipes is much much higher. These are more like the drinks you would get at a good mixology bar instead of the drink equivalent of your aunt's jello fruit mold that people just "love." I much prefer a list of cocktails that are reliable, good and repeatable than a huge pile of garbage recipes. This app is great and delivers great, reliable cocktails.
