Chasing the Green Fairy to Amsterdam

This is the cocktail that I submitted for the Bols Cocktail Competition, so cross your fingers for me.

I love these beer syrups, the honey is amazing with Lindemans Gueuze Cuvée René. The sour and sweet blends harmoniously and opens the floral components of the beer nicely. The cocktail is delicately sweet and surprisingly refreshing. Plus, blood orange makes for a stunning color.

Dark Sinthe

I am a huge fan of absinthe, but because of the herbs many contain they can exhaust and overwhelm ones taste buds! This cocktail brings out the herbal notes of the absinthe in a smooth, slightly spicy elixir that is neither overwhelming nor tiresome to the senses.
