It is a very exciting time to be a Chicagoan, both as a citizen and as a bartender. A new French ginger liqueur is popping up all over town and gaining the respect of the Chicago mixologist community. Recently, Domain de Canton held a local competition where the “Lost Horizon” cocktail was introduced and the winner walked away with a trip to St. Martin in February. (Pretty nice prize, especially for Chicago in winter) I had the opportunity to sample this winning cocktail the other week and thought it was brilliant!!! Here is the recipe:
Lost Horizon
2.0 oz Domaine de Canton
1.0 oz Reposado Tequila (Partida)
0.5 oz Cherry Brandy (Peter Heering)
1.0 oz freeze squeezed lime juice
0.5 oz 100% Organic Agave Nectar
egg white
3-4 sage leaves
3-4 cilantro leaves
In a cocktail shaker, add sage and cilantro with lime juice and muddle. Add all other ingredients with ice and shake hard to emulsify egg. Strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with sage leaves
The only thing I would do differently is flip the measurement of Domaine and Tequila. 1oz Domaine and 2oz tequila. Welcome to a new era for bartending and for the U.S. Cheers - Alex
