Now, of COURSE I will make her a drink, all the time, as she’s one of my favorite cocktail guinea pigs, but I had all these neat little ingredients I had wanted to show off and I hadn’t brought any of them over. So I worked with what she had in the house. Which is not an unimpressive collection.</p>
<p>Her husband, Brendan, recently acquired a full set of syrups from the new syrup company, Royal Rose, which is in nearby Brooklyn. I had been itching to try them. They also had a bottle of <a href="http://www.facebook.com/Solerno">Solerno Blood Orange Liqueur</a>, which I ‘d heard good things about, but never had, and Cocktail Kingdom’s Wormwood Bitters. (Note: <a href="http://www.cocktailkingdom">Cocktail Kingdom</a> is one of my favorite places to buy bitters. They have lots of awesome small batch stuff that I haven’t found anywhere else).</p>
<p>We tried a little of the Solerno neat, and it was very, very sweet, sweeter than I expected. It tasted kind of like a melted popsicle, but with more depth to it. I’m not so sure I got ‘blood orange’ so much as a brighter orange-tangeriney flavor.</p>
<p>Here’s what I ended up making:</p>
