Grievous Angel | Cocktail Party

Grievous Angel

The name is a little emo, yes – but we can forgive the Grievous Angel, because it’s an excellent cocktail with a perfect balance between woody bourbon, fragrant elderflower, and the rich sweetness of high-quality strawberry syrup.

We found this recipe from Laurent Lebac of Chicago’s Big Star bar while sifting through back-issues of PUNCH, an online magazine. It’s definitely worth a look if you’re interested in the craft of drinks!

Lebac calls for a 90-proof bourbon, but it’s not really too different in taste from regular 80-proof.

Ingredients

Instructions

Shake everything (except the lemon peel) with ice, and strain into an ice-filled short glass. Express a strip of lemon peel over the drink, then discard the peel. Garnish with a strawberry slice.

Terrific Design!

Absolutely love this app. Gives a great visual representation of the ingredients and the user interface is well designed. Been using it to learn how to make cocktails, the descriptions are great about the drinks. As a novice barman, I love that I am learning the origin of the drink and alternative ways to make the drink. Be prepared to have a wide range of alcohol at you disposal! I can make heaps of drinks with the decent home collection I have, but seeing all the recipes what I could make gets me excited! Highly recommended, everyone loves the person who makes excellent drinks!
