Campari / Gin / vermouth

Tailspin

01.10.18

I made the Tailspin earlier this week and loved it so much I couldn’t wait to have another. It’s from the Death & Co book and is perfect, so I barely adapted it. Green chartreuse has been a favorite of mine since I visited NOLA in January and took chartreuse shots with the bartenders at Cochon (check out my travel guide!)—which they called the little green monster. So good. Green chartreuse is a good investment for your bar, and even though it’s pricey it will last for awhile. (Unless you get hooked on the little green monsters. In which case I can’t help you.)

I subbed in the sweet vermouth I had opened in my fridge, a lovely cocchi di torino. How do people own more than a couple vermouths at once? Why are the bottles so big? WHY!? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This cocktail is super booze forward and ideal for the weekend. If you already have your cocktail set for tonight, whip this one up tomorrow. Cheers, happy Friday!
