  • tried without the sage and used Redwood Empire Bourb
  • really more like a 3 for me but I think it's just cause I don't like sage in cocktails, which is more of a personal taste thing
  • really pretty good, even without the sage, clove, nutmeg

Very good!! Didn't have the dram so just soaked ground allspice & nutmeg in the bourbon (use coffee filter) for 5 min. Simplify it and just use 1/4 oz maple syrup instead of mixing up a solution with water. Used regular lemon juice, but curious to try with Meyer. Also, added half an egg white to give it a little foam.

Been a cocktail fan for 25 years. This is one of my favorites. The only mod I make is using regular instead of meyer lemon juice (availability).
