GIN DRINK OF THE MONTH

As professional bartenders, we have been studying to be Gin Liquor Connoisseurs. We have tasted over fifty different gin brands. Please submit your favorite Gin Cocktails to us. Gin is a very interesting and healthy drink. Gin is the only alcohol liquor that was first developed as medicine remedy before it became popular as a social drink. Like most people, when I first encountered Gin I didn't like it. Only to later realize that there is a difference between cheap bar gin and Premium Gin. I inform my customers if you want to drink hard liquor, choose Gin over Vodka, Whiskey or Rum. And if you don't want the calories in beer and wine, TRY A GIN DRINK ! ... BECOME A GIN LOVER!

GIN DRINK OF THE MONTH

The Citrine

The Citrine, a mellow gin-based concoction. It includes a lot of cucumber, one of our favorite cocktail ingredients and an excellent match for a good gin. The original recipe called for Hendricks gin; it works with any gin that isn’t too strongly flavored. Too many strong botanical and herbal elements and you won’t taste any of the cucumber, though.

Hot Mulled Gin Punch

This drink is full antioxidants to get you through the flu season.

Liquid assets
Red wine is the health key here – Monash University in Australia recently confirmed the pre-eminence of grape-based drinks like red wine or brandy for supplying the antioxidants that clear out toxins and pollutants. But honey also slows the absorption of sugar into your blood, so you'll avoid the late-night sugar crashes that end in the kebab shop, while the vitamin C-packed Rosehip syrup will give you an immune-system boost. As instantly warming as an old hot water bottle (and a good deal tastier).

Ingredients

Method
Heat all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer until the honey has dissolved. Pour into a toddy glass or tumbler and drink while still warm.

Rangpur Ginito

The Kind

by Jeff Hollinger and Jonny Raglin of Absinthe - San Francisco

Instructions: Muddle the mint leaves with a little cracked ice in a mixing glass until they are shredded into bits. (This ice is intended to act like "teeth" and help with the shredding of the mint, so small chunks are best.) Add the genever, Chartreuse and apricot liqueur and top with additional ice. Stir for 15 to 20 seconds, or until well chilled. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a chilled cocktail glass, and garnish with the mint tip.

Genever, a Dutch invention often credited to professor and chemist Sylvius de Bouve in the 16th century, is not actually a style of gin but its precursor. It is a combination of malt wine, a flavorful distilled grain product, plus juniper and other herbs, and neutral grain spirit. In the earliest American cocktail guides, genever was largely referred to as "Holland gin."
