Lazy Afternoon Sazerac

2oz Rye

1/2oz simple syrup

2 drops absinthe

2 dashes lemon bitters

1 dash Peychaud's bitters

Yuzu Martini v1 - 2 oz Bombay Sapphire "East" (infused with lemongrass and peppercorns), 1/2 oz Dry Vermouth, 1/2 oz Iichiko Yuzu liqueur, 2 dashes lemon bitters. Shaken (the yuzu liqueur is cloudy anyway) with ice and fine strained into a chilled cocktail glass. A fresh yuzu garnish will be nice for the next one. Refreshing and balanced, but could gain from a bit more complexity.

Monkey Buck (variation) - 2&1/2 oz of Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin, 1/2 oz of freshly squeezed lemon juice, 2 dashes lemon bitters, shaken with ice and strained into a chilled, ice-filled rocks glass and topped with ginger ale. Garnish with a couple of lemon twists. A dead simple yet luxurious drink. Dry and tart, it could be challenging for some. Could thus be enhanced by adding a 1/2 oz of liqueur, preferably something floral and sweet like a St-Germain or Chartreuse.
