…a Wonderful, Awful Idea

(Mostly wonderful.)
For the last few years, I’ve been making different flavored syrups as a Christmas gift for friends. This year’s batch was an orange-cardamom syrup with vanilla. Along with the syrups themselves, I usually try to give a few suggestions as to what the syrup might be good with, beyond the obvious “put it on pancakes”. I came up with a few cocktail recipes last year (the “Ginger Baker” my personal favorite of the bunch), and spent a little bit of time pondering what the new batch might work with.
Orange, so pair it with some other citrus. A little lemon and lime juice, maybe.
Acid and sweet edged towards a sour mix, so maybe some sort of variant on a Tom Collins?
And, the way my brain works, I give you:
The “Bootsy Collins”
Gin (of course) to go with the juice. Hendricks, because I like it, and because of the word-association-punnery. Creme de Violette to pair with the syrups flavors, and funk it up a little. Ice and club soda (yes, club) to finish it off. And what else for a garnish but some star fruit?
So, take:
2 oz. Hendricks Gin
1 oz. Orange Compound
1/2 oz. fresh lemon juice
1/2 oz. fresh lime juice
1/2 oz. Creme de Violette
and combine with ice in a shaker, and shake it up good. Pour into a collins glass filled with fresh ice and a few slices of star fruit (carambola), top the whole thing off with club soda, and then a big bottoms up!
This was set up on a piece clear gloss plastic on top of black posterboard, with a few “gems” littered alongside, another piece of black posterboard behind the glass itself and in front of my homemade diffusion panels, all backlit with a cheap halogen worklight. Shot from in front with my Nikon on a tripod. Post-processing was mostly white balance correction and some levels work to make the background a more uniform black. (I posted a picture of the setup as my shot for my 365 today.)

After helping Rosalie eat lunch at the hospital, we went home to the farm and had a delicious meal at Heather’s house. Most of the people had finished eating when we arrived and were relaxing to let their food digest.
