Over the years, we’re mentioned cocktails named after dog breeds, from the Regal Beagle and Great Dane, to the Pomeranian and Bloodhound Martini. If you prefer scotch whiskey, for you there is Bird Dog Whiskey.
We’re adding another adult beverage to the mix (ha, a pun), and this one is the French Bulldog. It gets its name from a combination of Bulldog gin and French sounding ingredients like crème de cassis and elderflower. Enthusiasts also hint that the drink may require attention like its dog counterpart.
- 4-6 oz. Bulldog Gin
- 1 oz. elderflower syrup
- 3/4 oz. simple syrup
- 1/2 oz. crème de cassis
- 2-3 sage leaves
Interestingly, we came across variations of the recipe, one of which seems like a different drink altogether:
This one shares tin and elderflower liquor:
1.25 oz gin
1 oz Texas Rio Star red grapefruit juice
1 oz St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur
1.25 oz Dry Lemongrass Soda
Another recipe may appeal to people who don’t like gin:
In a cocktail shaker add:
- 1 ounce of Bourbon
- 1 ounce of Averna
- 3 quarters lemon juice
- ½ ounce simple syrup
- Shake with ice
- Strain into a glass
- Add ice
- Garnish with lemon twist
