Night Porter
This could very well be one of the most beautiful cocktails we have ever shaken.
Rhythm and Soul
“A pleasingly bitter Italian amaro gives this love child of the Sazerac and the Manhattan a life of its own.”
L’Amour en Fuite Cocktail
The “L’Amour en Fuite” is our first post, out of four, with cocktails from Jamie Boudreau’s The Canon Cocktail Book.
Howl on the Hill Cocktail

Since 2008 the Sazerac is the official cocktail of New Orleans and modern recipes often contain whiskey. It also gets a fantastic red color from Peychauds bitters.… Continue reading Sazerac
