1 wdg Lime (Garnish)

Notes
There aren’t too many rum and bourbon cocktails, but I think the banana notes in Old Forester really make this work. The bourbon needs to be 100 proof to stand up; the cocktail would be too sweet otherwise.
History
“A CIA spook stationed in the Caribbean in the late 1950s uses a bottle of bourbon to spruce up the local swill.”
