Spruce Goose | Cocktail Party

Spruce Goose

The Spruce Goose from Trevor Easter at The Snug in Sacramento is equal parts refreshing and savory, with crisp cucumber and gin matched up to nutty orgeat and dry amontillado sherry (a fino or oloroso will do in a pinch).

Ingredients

Instructions

Muddle the cucumber wheels in a shaker. Add the remaining ingredients and ice, and shake well. Double-strain through a fine mesh strainer into a tall ice-filled glass. Garnish with a fresh wheel or ribbon of cucumber.

Game Changer

This is a game changer. When you're at the liquor store, thinking, "Yeah, ok fine what does Ancho Reyes liquor get me?" you open the app, look up Chile liquor and see that it gets you like 11 new cocktails. This is addictive, and indeed worth the price. We're having a blast under quarantine. While some of the ingredients are kind of anonymous, the icons look like the Campari bottle, and the descriptions often tell you if Campari will work or if you need Aperol. If you <3 cocktails, get this.
