  • Used Wild Turkey 101 rye and Ilegal mezcal joven. The rye overpowered everything. Added 2 drops Boker's bitters to drop the heat. It helped. Also added large ice ball. As is, rated at 3.5.
  • Might make again though shots of straight whiskey would seem to have the same effect.

Faulkner? Perhaps you meant Steinbeck. I'll still try the drink.

Steinbeck, yes! Lapsus. Thank you. And thanks also to the curator!
