14. Ardsley Cocktail

My interpretation:
  1.5 oz homemade Calisaya mixture (using chinchona and gentian liqueurs with a focus on orange and warm spices)
  1.5 Plymouth Sloe Gin. 

Shake (with broken ice), strain, and serve. Garnish with orange peel.

Note: Since Elixir’s Calisaya is not sold here, I created a fair stand-inMy Calisaya mixture was designed to pair with this drink as well as to answer the descriptions given in other sources. In any event, it counterbalances the thick syrupy qualities of the Sloe with some bracing bitterness and complexity.
