Saturday Sipping: Damrak Gin and a Floradora

Friday August 22, 2008
There are only two semi-official weekends of summer left and this is a good excuse for a great gin highball. That's where we're going with this week's Saturday Sipping, straight to the Floradora featuring Damrak, one of the newest Dutch gins.
Damrak Gin

I like Damrak in a Floradora because its juniper background is significantly more subtle than some other gins and that profile is spectacular when sweetened with Chambord (or raspberry syrup if that's what you prefer). With this combination you get the botanicals of a garden and fruits of the season along with a cooling effervescence. Overall it is a great end of summer cocktail.
