Oregon started issuing a special run of Pacific Wonderland plates today and yesterday Jim came home with two pairs. We’ve always loved this old plate style and were excited they are being reissued.
To celebrate I invented a Pacific Wonderland cocktail. I was shooting for all Oregon products, but had to fudge as I needed sugar, and a twist of lemon. I started playing with the idea of a Vesper variation, but the Old Tom Gin is so herbacious that in this it worked better as an accent than as a main ingredient. This might be improved by a bit of lemon juice – it’s good but we think it could be better.
For two moderately sized cocktails:
2 ounces Medeyoff Vodka
3/4 ounce Clear Creek Distillery Pear Brandy
1/4 ounce Ransom Old Tom Gin
1/4 ounce simple syrup
Stir with ice and pour into cocktail glasses. Twist a generous lemon peel over, and drop in. Celebrate Pacific Wonderland!
