‘Shroom Where It Happens

• 2.0 oz. Amass Mushroom Reserve gin
• 0.5 oz. Gran Classico
• 0.25 oz. Benedictine
• 0.25 oz. crème de cassis
• dash of chaga extract

Stir with ice and strain to glass. I think this would pair nicely with a little chocolate.

I have had Amass’s regular dry gin on my shelf for a while, and enjoy it’s subtle mushroom inclusion (reishi and lion’s mane, according to their website). This reserve gin adds an additional infusion of shiitake, along with cacao and bergamot. It’s tasty.

I bumped up the herbs and bitterness using Gran Classico and Benedictine to work with the umami of the gin. It needed some brightness and a little more sweet, so I grabbed cassis. I finished up with a bit more mushroom, because why not?

Another punny title, this time with apologies to Hamilton. A Shroom with a View, Shroommates, Shroom & Board, Shroomraider. It was never going to end well.
