If you're looking for a cocktail to sip while watching the debate on Tuesday, I recommend my Alameda Lotus:
1 ½ oz St. George Botanivore gin
¾ oz crème de violette or liqueur de violette
½ oz Ferrand dry Curaçao
1 oz Meyer lemon juice, freshly squeezed (about the juice of 1 lemon)
(optional: a splash of elderflower liqueur)
Shake with ice. Strain into a chilled coupe.
Garnish with a thin slice of lotus root tossed in baker’s sugar.
