Leeuwenhoek
0
Stirred gin with Lillet Blanc, Amer Picon and a little kümmel, dry and bittersweet with a caraway note and a lemon twist. Created by Frederic Yarm in Somerville, Massachusetts in 2008.
Frederic Yarm created the Leeuwenhoek in 2008 for Hendrick's Beantown Bartender Battle, a contest capped at six ingredients where one of Hendrick's thirteen botanicals had to take centre stage. Caraway, brought in through kümmel liqueur, was the botanical chosen, and the name nods to the Dutch scientist who invented the microscope. It was the creator's first cocktail competition, and the entry did not reach the finals.
