#DrinkBetter: The Golden Eagle from Golden Moon Distillery

If you are looking for New World versions of Old World spirits, you can't do much better than Colorado based Golden Moon Distillery. Founder Stephen Gould has worked diligently to create a unique range of products using mid-19th Century equipment and the same artisan production processes as those utilized by premier distillers in the mid-to-late 1800s.

Here is one of their signature cocktail recipes, in case you can't make it to their fabulous Golden Moon Speakeasy in Golden, CO.

THE GOLDEN EAGLE

1 ½ Ounce - Golden Moon Gin
¾ Ounce - Golden Moon Crème de Violette
1 Each - Egg White
1 Ounce – Lemon Juice (juice of one lemon)
1 Bar Spoon – Sugar

Place all ingredients in an empty cocktail shaker and shake vigorously.

Add ice and shake for about a minute.

Strain and serve.
