Mamie Getting Married
A Cocktail Mouse variation of the Mamie Taylor cocktail
2 oz Rittenhouse rye whiskey
1 oz Rose's sweetened lime juice
1 splash Ginger People ginger juice
2 dashes rose flower water
2 oz soda water
1 cube brown crystallized ginger
Mint leaves
Combine all ingredients except crystallized ginger and mint leaves in ice-filled shaker. Shake vigorously and strain into highball glass, then add shaker ice to fill glass. Garnish with mint leaves and ginger cube on a long toothpick.
Cocktail success!!!! This is a rough replica of a cocktail that I had at Cole's/The Varnish in downtown L.A. It is actually a kind of combination; the Cole's version used rye and no rose flower water (and I think ginger beer??) while the Varnish version utilized the rose flower water with vodka. I'm not sure of the exact ingredients and doses that each bar used but this is my closest approximation of the two....and...it was deliciously refreshing! Had I not known exactly how much strong alcohol was in the drink/had I nothing better to do with my night, I would have made several :) This first time I used the mint leaves only for garnish, but next time I may nix the rose flower water, and bruise mint leaves in the shaker. Cannot say enough how pleasing this cocktail was to me!
