The Impatient Chef Cocktail Recipe: The Glorious Bastard

The Glorious Bastard

The Glorious Bastard
Why invent cocktails?  Why not?  Why does one climb a mountain?  Death wish...  Er...  I mean, because its there.  Being creative is a positive on its own.  So, here goes:

I call this the Glorious Bastard (because why not?).

One of the problems with inventing new cocktails is that it's really hard to know whether someone has already used your ingredient list.  All you can really do is do an online search for the spirit combination, and hope that nothing comes up.  Did I do that?  No.  

The recipe:
.75 oz lemon juice (fresh or bust)
2 oz gin (I prefer New Deal No. 1, but it just can’t be a “smooth” gin)
1/2 oz Kirschwasser
1/2 oz Chambord. 
4 dashes orange bitters
Shake well with ice
Serve.

Gloat.
