Birch beer is delicious and the examples I've had tend to be less sweet and more forest-y than root beer. Good idea for a cocktail ingredient.

I've actually been debating making a birch beer syrup or tincture because the soda's been so hard to get in the Midwest. I'll post if it turns out

  • I'm guessing this varies considerably based on bourbon. I used Johnny Drum Private Stock. Not sure mezcal did much. Perhaps a spray or two of Laphroaig 10yr would be better.

  • Used 1/2oz amaro + 1/4oz gran Classico bitters
  • This is the best Amaro Abano drink I’ve found. Intense. Dark. Quite good. 2nd time: Even better. Maybe a touch easier on the Abano. Great drink!
  • The perfect mezcal-forward sipper!
