First of all I’m glad you had a great time at the Varnish. That’s always good to hear. You can find rose water in most middle eastern style markets. Also some of the nicer grocery stores such as Whole Foods or Bristol farms will certainly have it.

I got to this blog post the same way as the last commenter did! I had a Gershwin at Varnish this weekend and it was the best cocktail I’d had in awhile (all the drinks my friends and I got were quite tasty, by the way.) So glad I found this! Do you know a good place to find Rose Water, though?

Hey there J, the original is simple. Just subtract the blueberries and keep the proportions the same. I do like to fiddle with the amount of ginger syrup and simple syrup as I like the spice of ginger. The type of Gin you use also can make a big difference. We use Beefeater in our well at the Varnish and I think it’s just delicious. Maybe a new Western Dry would work as well. Something like Aviation or dare I say it, Junipero. Hope that works out for you. Thanks again for stopping by the Varnish!

Hi, just found this after doing a google search for “gershwin cocktail”. The reason? Because I just had a delicious one at Varnish last night (perhaps you were the one who made it). I look forward to trying your variation, but would you mind posting or sending me the standard recipe for the Gershwin? Thanks!

You got it Dylan. Glad we were able to hammer out that recipe for ya. Did you end up trying it with less simple and a touch of lemon juice?

Chris, thanks again for yet another good night of delectable libations. I learn a lot every time I’m at the Varnish. As for The Answer, I tried it out right when I got home and it was great haha.

You got it Matt. We normally don’t carry blueberries at The Varnish. I just brought those in for the project. I might have to start keeping them around. We do regularly have blackberries though. I bet that would be delicious. Hmmmmm. . .ideas, ideas.
