An herbaceous and smooth sipper.
Add the first 5 ingredients to a shaker with ice. Shake, then double strain into a chilled glass. Spritz with the vanilla tincture, then garnish.
Pistachio OrgeatSoak the pistachios in hot water for 30 minutes. Strain and discard the water. Blend the pistachios in a blender with 5 1/3 oz. of water for 2 minutes on high. Strain off the “pistachio milk” using a cheesecloth and mesh strainer. Using a medium pot, heat the pistachio milk to a light simmer. While heating, stir in the sugar, brandy, and orange blossom water. Once the sugar is dissolved, remove from heat and let cool. Pour into a sealable glass bottle and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
