Back Porch Cocktail

Now that outdoor activity, including hiking in the woods and forests, is verboten, I have only one way left to deal with my anxiety and this prison that is now my home1.

  • 1 1/2oz Sourland Mountain Spirits Gin
  • 3/4oz. Lillet Blanc
  • 3/4oz. fresh lime juice
  • 4 mint leaves

Place all ingredients in a mixing glass, add ice. Shake and strain into a martini glass with sugar in the raw rim. Garnish with a mint sprig.

Recipe by Craig Holcomb.


  1. I cheated. I drank it on my front patio. 

Sourland Mountain Spirits "Nectar of the Gods” Cocktail

On my way home from a food photography workshop in Lamberville, I stopped in at Sourland Mountain Spirits tasting room. A bit of fig infused Sourland Mountain Spirits rum, Sourland Mountain Spirits vodka, lemons, and some secret syrup and I had one of the best cocktails I've had in a while. Can't wait for the weather to warm up so we can sit outside at the distillery.
