A few months ago we took a quick trip to San Francisco. I love that city. The crisp weather, the bright houses, the ocean air, the green parks, it's just perfect. On our long weekend we stumbled across a bar called The Bloodhound. It had a kind of rustic west meets a moody speakeasy vibe & we fell in love. Namely because of The Recoil. Silly name, yes, but the drink is perfect! So perfect that we stopped back in three times that weekend. Ever since our return home its been haunting me.
adapted from The Bloodhound
1.5 oz. bourbon (I prefer Bulleit.)
.5 oz. St. Germain elderflour liquer
.5 oz. freshly squeezed lime juice
a splash of ginger beer (Not ginger ale, please! Ginger beer has a spicy kick & it really makes the cocktail.)

2 springs fresh mint
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice & shake the first 3 ingredients 20 times. Strain into a pint glass filled with ice - the Bloodhound uses pint Mason jars, which is a very cute touch - top with ginger beer. Garnish with a lime & mint.
