A refreshing, bittersweet Highball/Beer Cocktail riff with the flavors of watermelon, cherry, and lime 🍉🍒🍹 The Japanese gin has notes of yuzu, shiso, and black pepper that play nicely with the citrus notes from the fresh lime juice while the unaged cherry eau de vie adds some depth and funk that picks up the watermelon and cherry sour beer. The citrus peel notes in the Aperol tie together the booze, citrus, and beer notes while a splash of the Maraschino liqueur helps boost the cherry notes and the lychee liqueur complements the other flavors 1.5 oz Japanese or citrus-friendly London Dry or New American Gin (Roku is a nice option) .5 oz Kirschwasser/Cherry Eau de Vie (unaged cherry brandy; dry with cherry and funk notes) .25 oz Aperol (low ABV Italian aperitivo with notes of grapefruit pith) .5 oz Fresh Lime Juice Tsp Maraschino Liqueur (Luxardo or Leopold Brothers) Tsp Lychee Liqueur (Giffard) Shake with ice and strain into a chilled Collins glass filled with ice cubes. Top with 1.5 oz of Watermelon/Cherry/Lime Sour beer (Alvarado St Hotel Pastique pictures) #itsthefreakinweekend
