GDPCocktail recipe
Rating
This drink is to champion the innovative genever from the Wenneker Distilleries. Like the Dutch Golden Age, the spirit of this genever is based on the Islay Cask finish. ~ Trinh Quan Huy-Philip, Vietnam Mixxit Master 2011 and Swizzle Master 2015

FAQ's
Can I substitute another type of bitters for Peychaud's in the GDP cocktail?
Yes, you can substitute Peychaud's Aromatic Bitters with other bitters like Angostura or orange bitters. However, keep in mind that each type of bitters has its unique flavor profile, which will slightly alter the taste of the GDP cocktail.
Why is the GDP cocktail stirred and not shaken?
The GDP cocktail is stirred instead of shaken to preserve the clarity and smooth texture of the drink. Stirring gently combines the ingredients without introducing air bubbles, ensuring a clearer and more refined appearance than shaking would.
What is the ideal garnish for the GDP cocktail?
The GDP cocktail can be elegantly garnished with a thin slice of ginger or a twist of lemon peel. These garnishes complement the spicy and botanical notes in the drink without overwhelming its delicate balance.
How does the alcohol content of the GDP compare to a standard cocktail?
The GDP cocktail has an alcohol content of 40%, which is significantly higher than the average cocktail, typically ranging between 25% to 30% alcohol by volume (ABV). This makes the GDP a stronger option, so it should be enjoyed in moderation.
What occasions are best suited for serving the GDP cocktail?
The GDP cocktail, with its strong and sophisticated flavors, is ideal for evening gatherings or as a dinner cocktail. Its refined taste makes it suitable for special occasions or as an after-dinner drink to savor.
