I fucking love gin. It has always been my booze of choice. And I am always up for discovering new gins as they are all so different. Enter Boodles.  I always test it out first on the rocks. I found the nose to be more subtle than other gins with hints of pine, citrus, cardamom and anise. It went down very smooth with notes of juniper and a surprising sweetness. The finish is a bit warm and spicy. Yum.

Okay now let’s make some cocktails.  This one is called the Prince of Orange.

Recipe
  • 2 oz Boodles gin
  • ¾ oz Blood orange coriander simple syrup
  • ¾ oz Lemon
  • 1 dash Bitters
  • 2-3 Mint leaves
Directions
  1. Combine all ingredients into mixing vessel with ice.
  2. Shake. Shake. Shake.
  3. Fine strain into large rocks glass w/ fresh large cubes.
  4. Garnish on the rim of glass with mint spring pulled through an orange peel, expressed.
  5. Enjoy.
  6. Repeat.

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.
