Ingredients: 15 ml Honey Syrup; 15 ml Cinnamon Syrup; 45 ml Gin; 15 ml Lemon Juice; 15 ml Genever

Created by Frederic Yarm at Drink in Boston in 2022. Gin and lemon juice are shaken with honey and cinnamon syrups, and a splash of genever adds a malty edge to a warmly spiced sour.

At Drink in Boston, a guest asked for a gin cocktail but described something like a Penicillin, so Frederic Yarm used London Dry gin with a Genever float in place of the usual smoky Scotch. The guest liked it, and Yarm remade it at home later that evening, naming it Erasmus after the Dutch philosopher to fit a Dutch theme.
