About the Jasmine

Created by Paul Harrington in the 1990s, a bitter gin sour.

Missing something?

  • No Gin? Use Old Tom Gin (Sweeter and rounder, so cut the syrup a little)
  • No Gin? Use Genever (Maltier and rounder)
  • No Triple Sec? Use Grand Marnier (Richer and cognac-based, with less bright orange)
  • No Triple Sec? Use Blue Curaçao (Same flavour, but turns the drink blue)
  • No Campari? Use Aperol (Lighter, sweeter and less bitter)
  • No Lemon Juice? Use Lemon (Squeeze fresh: 1 lemon gives about 30 ml)
  • No Lemon Juice? Use Lime Juice (Sharper, different aroma)

All swaps for Gin, Triple Sec, Campari and Lemon Juice
