Curious George
George Ultra Lounge bartender Shaun Layton, fresh off his first place win at London, England’s National Bombay Sapphire Cocktail Competition, mixed us his winning elixir, the London Vine.
We suggest ordering two, one for you and the other for Bradley Cooper (He’s Just Not that Into You) whom we spotted there last Friday, incognito in a ball cap, fatigue vest, and jeans. Bottoms up, Bradley!
London Vine
60 ml Bombay Sapphire Gin
15 ml fresh grapefruit juice
15 ml vanilla simple syrup
15 ml B.C. Pinot Noir
Dash Campari
Lemon zest (1 inch piece)
1 black plum, pit removed and quartered
Method
Muddle lemon peel and plum in mixing glass, add other ingredients and shake well. Fine strain, plum fan garnish.
