  • One of the most interesting cocktails I've ever had! Very subtle and surprisingly delicate with the mint and bell pepper. Hendricks is tamed and lime ties it all together.

I've had this drink at Manifesto and it was amazing. But I could have sworn it had basil instead of mint. I can clearly see on the linked menu it says mint- maybe they switched it up that night?

  • Great kick, and colour. Imagine subbing gin for tequila would work very well.
  • Great combination of flavor. Subbed some other fresh herbs I had instead of cilantro. — ★★★★★

sgls commented on 7/12/2020:

Dale De Groff's Art of the Cocktail uses 1 1/2 oz bourbon and 4 oz ginger ale, while being less specific about the amount of bitters. The book also provides instructions for making the horse's neck lemon peel.

Imbibe Magazine April 2014

Adapted from the classic by Garrett Van Vteck, The Shady Lady Saloon

 

1.5 oz Bourbon

1/2 oz giner syrup

3-4 dashes Angostura bitters

Chilled soda water

lemon peel for Garnish 

Combine the bourbon, syrup and bitters in a highball glass and stir to combine.  Fill the glass with ice and top with chilled soda.  Remove the zest rom a whole lemon in one long strip for garnish
