Good point guys, this would be a great baseline drink to get at bourbons’ characters and see how they change and meld with the drink.

Glad you liked it!

Gabriel,

Joana was right. This is such the cross between an Old-fashioned and a Sazerac. It was so good (we used Weller’s 10-yr.) that we had to split a second. It was mmmm mmmmm good. We thought a jigger was an ounce and a half (we didn’t see the footnote). So we mixed it that way. It was deee-lightful. I think we’ll be comparing our bourbons in the same fashion. Thanks for turning us on to this great classic. The absinthe we used was Lucid, and believe us, it made us nothing resembling lucid. Thank God! Bottoms up! Steve & Paul

Lovely shot, Gabe. I like the blue shadow.

Great comments on Mata Hari too. I look forward to more thoughtful use of featured brands.
