Pompelmo Fizz Recipes

Steps:

• Fill a highball glass with ice to chill, then discard the ice.
• Pour the gin and liqueur into the glass. Top with soda and garnish with the grapefruit peel.

Steps:

• In a shaker, combine the cucumber slices, mint leaves and ginger. Muddle the ingredients until they begin to soften. Add enough ice to fill up half of the shaker. Add the cucumber juice and lime juice and shake until the ingredients are combined.
• Transfer immediately to a tall glass and top with the ginger beer. Serve.

Steps:

• Combine 1 pasteurized egg white, 1 1/2 ounces gin, 3/4 ounce lemon juice, 1/2 ounce simple syrup and 1/4 ounce each dry red wine and crème de violette in a shaker; shake 30 seconds. Add ice and shake 30 more seconds. Pour through a fine-mesh strainer into a coupe and garnish with an edible flower.

Steps:

• Make the basil syrup: Bring 1 cup water, the sugar, peppercorns and allspice berries to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, then continue to simmer until slightly reduced, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the 1 cup basil. Let cool, then strain into a liquid measuring cup. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. (You should have about 1 cup syrup, enough for 8 cocktails.)
• For each drink: Muddle the lime wedges and 2 basil leaves in a shaker with 3/4 ounce of the basil syrup. Add the light rum, fill with ice and shake well. Strain into a tall glass filled with ice and top with the ginger beer. Float the dark rum on top by pouring it over the back of a spoon. Garnish with a lime wedge.

Steps:

• Muddle 4 of the cucumber slices with the simple syrup. Add the gin and lime juice, and shake vigorously over ice. Strain into an iced highball glass. Top with a splash of ginger beer.
• Spear the remaining cucumber slice with the sprig of rosemary to garnish the glass.
