Show You Me Hoo-hoo

  • 1.75 oz. spiced rum (Bayou)
  • 0.5 oz. grapefruit shrub
  • 0.5 oz. cinnamon syrup
  • 0.25 oz. allspice dram (St. Elizabeth)
  • 0.25 oz. lime juice
  • 2 dashes hopped grapefruit bitters

Shake with ice then strain into coupe.

Final Billy Elliot drink, and my tiki contribution. The shrub and cinnamon give it a nice bite. And it is probably my favorite name I have given one of my cocktails. Though the cocktail is all you get.

Esqueer

  • 1.5 oz. London Dry gin
  • 0.5 oz. pamplemousse rose liqueur (Combier)
  • 0.5 oz. Aperol
  • 0.25 oz. Pavan
  • 0.25 oz. lemon juice

Shake with ice then strain into coupe.

Billy Elliot drink #3. Still love the pamplemousse rose liqueur. Everything else was just invited to play with it. The title comes from a line in the show where Billy misreads “esquire.” Hold for laugh. Now drink.

Balletomane

  • 1.5 oz. London Dry gin
  • 0.5 oz. Apricot liqueur (Rothman and Winter)
  • 0.25 oz. Campari
  • 0.25 oz. sloe gin (Plymouth)
  • 0.25 oz. vanilla liqueur (Giffard)

Stir with ice, then strain into old fashioned over ice. Express orange peel over drink and discard.

Drink #2 for Billy Elliot. Submitted without witty commentary.
