Good Sour...A Bit Sharp Though...



Courtesy of 12bottlebar.com, it was the garnish that caught my attention rather than the recipe.  Basically a Genever Sour with a touch of heat from the Cayenne.  I figured, this being Halloween, why not.

2 oz Bols Genever
0.75 oz Simple syrup
0.75 oz Lemon Juice
Pinch of Cayenne Pepper

Add all ingredients to a mixing glass
Shake with ice and strain into a coupe
Sprinkle cayenne over the top

Enjoy making this...and if you're struggling to find a nice shaving blade to garnish it with, any strand of barb wire or even a rusty Stanley Knife blade will suffice.
Needless to say, we aren't actually recommending you do this...
