Route 101

• 2.0 oz. Gray Whale gin
• 0.5 oz. dry vermouth
• 0.25 oz. Benedictine
• barspoon of Ferrand Dry Curacao
• barspoon of Tempus Fugit mint liqueur
• barspoon of Clear Creek fir brandy
• dash of Owl & Whale eucalyptus bitters

Stir with ice and strain into glass.

Another gin-specific Martini variant, though this one more a Caprice variant, really. Starting with California’s Gray Whale gin and the vermouth and Benedictine standard (though a bit less of the latter), I then added little dashes of supporting ingredients to highlight the underlying botanicals and flavors of the gin.

The name is for the famous Pacific coastal highway running through all the flora. Though if you’re sipping this, maybe call an Uber.
