Creature Comforts

2 oz Scotch (chamomile-infused)
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1⁄4 oz Honey syrup (2:1)
Instructions

Dry shake, shake, strain, up. Garnish with drops or a spritz of something aromatic: chamomile tea, Boker's, allspice dram, etc; optionally, add some grated lemon zest.

Notes

Lion-type sour inspired by the aromatic Père-Bis cocktail. I use a chamomile tea bag for infusing.

  • An example of a really great name driving the design of a cocktail. The cocktail is surprising good given that. But it's only just good. The name is good enough I might make it again on that count.

  • This is also good as a virgin cocktail - remove the rum and flash-blend with about a cup of ice. I used Don Q 7 for this drink.

I didn't have the wormwood.  I used a dash of absinthe and some Jerry Thomas' bitters, and it tasted good.

Curator's note: The history of this very non-standard Kentucky Mule is unclear. The submission from 2014 includes an image of the menu from the Lumberyard, so presumably it was served there. The name has been changed to reflect that.
