To me, Tanqeray tastes like Christmas. Somehow the juniper spirit reminds me of crisp December days with my nose to the family room tree and cider mulling on the stove.
So I thought I'd try to make a holiday drink with Tanqeray--my gunggung's (grandfather's) spirit of choice and one of my own favorites. Here's the recipe for what I threw together:
In a mixing glass with cracked and large ice, stir in:
1.5 oz Tanqeray gin
3/4 oz sweet vermouth
1/4 oz maple syrup
dashes Peychaud/orange (preferably Regan's) bitters
Stir for 30 seconds and strain it into a martini glass.
Garnish: flame an orange peel above the glass.
Hope you like it alright. Happy holidays to you!
*Note: You'll see in this picture that I actually didn't use a martini glass. This is because someone else was using the only martini glass I have! :-\

I can't find a good way to articulate just how strange it is for me to read this blog about you and boozing. Seriously, this can't be real.
