I haven't tried it yet with a more-traditional dry gin... that's the trouble with coming up with a new drink every week -- it rarely leaves much time for experimentation with the old ones.

Did you try it without adding any simple syrup? It's a touch dry, but I think that's more of a compliment to the drink than anything. Looks like you took the shot near a daylight window?

Quite a few places here in Madison and Chicago are picking up the Gin for Pre-Prohibition cocktails. I would love to include your recipe, and beautiful photo in the DD website recipe page...may we? http://deathsdoorspirits.com/recipes.php And yes, the blend of all-Wisconsin botanicals (only three- can you guess them?) is intended to create a slightly sweet, simple gin that plays well with others. Best, Brian Death's Door Spirits Madison, WI PS- I will be in the Bay Area in February- let me know if I need to bring some care packages...:-) Thanks to Erik for giving you a turn with the Death’s Door Gin.

And glassware. And old books. And old drinks. Ah! And Old Tom! Which I enjoyed a recreation of in a Martinez at the Bar at the Dorchester Hotel in Mayfair on my recent trip to London. Now I really want to get my hands on a bottle of that stuff... Mmmm, typography.
