Ghost in the Machine Cocktail

Ghost of the Ghost in the Machine

A Hot Monkey fan reached out to us looking for the recipe for the Ghost in the Machine (a cocktail served by our friends at the Driftwood Room). We didn’t have the proportions for this cocktail but it sounded so delicious that we gave it a whirl anyway! Introducing the Ghost of the Ghost in the Machine.

  • 1 oz New Deal Vodka
  • 3/4 oz Hot Monkey
  • 1/2 oz Aperol
  • 3/4 oz basil simple syrup
  • 1/2 oz lemon juice
  • 1/2 oz grapefruit juice
  • Blood Orange San Pellegrino
  • 1 lemon twist and fresh basil, for garnish

Combine all ingredients and shake with ice. Strain over fresh ice into a collins glass and top with Blood Orange San Pellegrino. Garnish with fresh basil and a lemon twist.

Ginger Lemon Drop

Pucker up! This Lemon Drop recipe is not too sour and not too sweet, thanks to the amazing smoothness of New Deal Vodka and our Ginger Liqueur.

Flower Power

You’re sure to find peace with this fantastically fragrant iced tea cocktail.
