In honor of National Bourbon Day today, I thought I’d try something new: the Improved Whisky Cocktail. It’s been around since at least 1887, but it was new to me, and I think it’s excellent.
- 2 oz bourbon
- 1 bar spoon maraschino liqueur
- 1/4 oz simple syrup
- 1 dash absinthe
- 1 dash Angostura bitters
- 1 dash Peychaude’s bitters
I used the excellent local Helderberg Bourbon from New Scotland Spirits.
Cheers 🥃
