Disco Inferno

(inspired by the Midori Sour)

Yield: 1 cocktail

  • 2 oz. Fid Street Gin
  • 1 oz. melon cordial*
  • 1 oz. sour pineapple**
  • 1 dash absinthe
  • 1 dash celery bitters

Garnish:  Peychauds Bitters (float), Luxardo cherry

Method: Combine all ingredients in a shaker. Add ice and shake. Strain over fresh ice in a tall Collins glass. Garnish with 3 dashes of Peychauds bitters and a cherry on a pick.

*Melon Cordial

  • 1 cantaloupe
  • 3 Granny Smith apples
  • sugar, as needed (See procedure below.)
  • organic green food coloring

Juice the cantaloupe and apples separately, then combine 2 parts cantaloupe juice with 1 part Granny Smith apple juice. Add an equal amount of sugar by volume to your yield. Add several drops of green food coloring until the color changes to a “midori green.” (Any unused cordial will keep, refrigerated, for one week.)

**Sour Pineapple

  • 1 pineapple, peeled and juiced
  • malic acid
  • citric acid

(Both acids occur naturally in fruit, and can be purchased at any health-food store or online.)

Juice a fresh pineapple. Add 3.6 g. citric acid and 2 g. malic acid per 100 ml. of pineapple juice. Stir until dissolved.
