Recipes

Adapted from Jeffrey Morgenthaler

- 1 ½ oz amaretto (I recommend Sons of Vancouver No.82 Amaretto)

- ¾ oz bourbon

- 1 oz freshly squeezed blood orange juice

- ¾-1 tsp Yukon birch syrup

- ½ oz egg white

- 4 drops FPJ Orange Bitters

Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with no ice; dry shake, vigorously (or try an immersion blender as Morgenthaler suggests)! Add ice, and shake again until
chilled. Double strain into an Old Fashioned glass, perhaps with a couple of ice cubes, if you wish. Garnish with a blood orange wheel.

Note: You can use lemon juice instead of the blood orange juice if it’s not in season, and garnish with a preserved cherry (or three) instead of the blood orange wheel.

- 2 oz tequila blanco (I love La Gritona)

- 1/2 oz orange liqueur

- 1 oz unsweetened cranberry juice

- 1/2 oz agave syrup

- 1/4 oz lime juice

- 4 drops FPJ Labrador Tea & Lime Bitters

- Salt for rim

- Wild, lowbush cranberries or a lime wheel

Rim a margarita glass or coupe with lime juice and salt; chill the glass. Add all liquid ingredients to a cocktail shaker filled with ice, and shake well. Strain the cocktail into the prepared glass, and garnish with cranberries or a lime wheel.
