History

After writing up a drink called the Water Line for my blog, I got inspired to riff on the Cynar-orange liqueur combination. I merged the idea with the mezcal-Cognac duo from the 1910 Cocktail and included its choice of Peychaud's Bitters. For a name, I dubbed this one Papa Was a Rodeo that was had played on the Magnetic Fields Spotify that night (which I was listening to since a few songs from their "69 Love Songs" album are on one of the playlists at work).
