I love whiskey, but right now gin is in. So I'm expanding my horizons to jump on the bandwag- on, but not totally abandoning my true love. Oola Distillery in Seattle marries the best of both worlds in their Waitsburg Barrel-Finished Gin. The effects of the barrel fi nishing really appeal to my inclination towards brown spirits. Oola's gin is aged in bourbon casks for two to four months, resulting in aromas of warm baking spices and honey. There are so many delicious possibilities to use this spirit. Here's the one I'm drinking now. Enjoy the Electric Cloud for brunch or dinner, at home or at the bar, summer or fall. It's incredibly versatile—you can't go wrong! ELECTRIC CLOUD 1½ oz. Waitsburg Barrel-Finished Gin ¾ oz. Lemon juice ¾ oz. Simple syrup ½ oz. Cynar ¾ oz. Egg white Dry shake all ingredients. Then shake with ice and strain. Garnish with micro fl owers.
