paris is burning

1 oz Beefeater Gin
1 oz Sombra Mezcal (Peloton de la Muerte)
1 oz Pineapple Juice
1/2 oz Lemon Juice
1/2 oz St. Germain (St. Elder)
1/4 oz Cane Syrup (Sirop JM)

Shake with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with 1 dash Angostura Bitters (5 drop).Two Saturdays ago, I spotted a reference to a recipe on Kindred Cocktails and hunted it down in my copy of the The Nomad Cocktail Book. The drink Paris is Burning was created by Leo Robitschek and was perhaps named after a documentary that I watched years ago about the 1980s New York drag-ball scene and the birth of voguing. Once prepared, the Paris is Burning presented a floral, smoke, pineapple, and clove aroma. Next, lemon, pineapple, and grapefruit notes on the sip danced towards pine, pineapple, smoky, and vegetal flavors on the swallow.
