Artisan Spirits Week
Week Five
Oregon is considered the birthplace of craft distilling, home to a growing legion of distillers who are changing the way we think about cocktails. This week, Columbine Quillen, a cutting edge mixologist from The Blacksmith in Bend, heads east to find botanicals on the Oregon trail, then concocts an Oregon Bounty cocktail with the fruits of her forage.
Featured Recipe:
The Conestoga
The Conestoga can be made entirely from ingredients that grow in Eastern Oregon (except for the whiskey, but you can use an Oregon-made whiskey like House Spirits. To make this drink, first you must make a “vermouth” and a bitters.
