Spirit Forward

Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion’s paws, And make the earth devour her own sweet brood; Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger’s jaws, And burn the long-lived phoenix in her blood -William Shakespeare, Sonnet 19 A new school year has started, summer is coming to a close, the plants are dying out, and my baby girl is now in my seventh-grade class. I am feeling the passage of time most profoundly right now. Thank you to Shadow Ridge Distilled Spirits for the dark and moody rum.

I like to make the classics, do my own riffs on classics, and create brand new cocktails. I really enjoy trying to make a drink that symbolizes a person or character. ...

Add rum, cherry liqueur, egg white, syrup, and saline to a shaker. Squeeze your lemon wedge and drop it in. Add four ice cubes and shake until the ice is just about gone. Strain into a chilled glass with a large ice. Top with dried lavender buds. If you have any fresh buds left, add a few of those, too. I had one stem left with fresh flowers on my plants.

Editor's Note

Dark rum and cherry liqueur create a deep, fruity base for this sour. Aromatic lavender syrup and a rich egg white foam add floral and textural layers.
