The Gin Wong
We’re finally posting a recipe for a cocktail Sam Treadway concocted for us back in June at Drink Fort Point. Story behind this one: Randy challenged Sam to make a gin drink that combines espresso beans and black peppercorns. The result was smooth and creamy—but with the subtle kick of black pepper. A classy drink, not to be trifled with.
The Gin Wong
Muddle espresso beans & black pepper
1/4 oz cinnamon syrup
1/4 oz cherry heering
1/4 oz benedictine
1/2 oz dark creme de cacao
1/2 oz cream
1 1/2 oz Aviator gin
Shake & double strain.
The recipe initially used Beefeater, but was refined this November with the use of Aviator gin. It’s a much better match, too, given that Gin Wong is an aviator.
