Concorde

This combination of flavors has been in my head for a while: off-dry, gin and lime, a white wine note. As much as I’m taken with Fever Tree ginger beer lately, I used Reed’s for this to compliment the subtlety of white vermouth. You could use a spicier ginger beer but reduce the amount.



Concorde
  • 1 1/2 oz gin
  • 1 1/2 oz dry vermouth
  • 1/2 oz lime
  • about 4 oz ginger beer (Reed’s Extra Ginger)
Stir all but ginger beer with ice cubes and pour into a 10 oz glass. Fill with ginger beer. Lime garnish.

    I think that's my problem. I almost exclusively use Goya ginger beer (it's easy to find and is cheap and good), which is fiery as all hell. It probably trounces most of what I mix it with.

    Spicier is usually better for me, but it can definitely annihilate something like this.
