Today’s Cocktail: The Improved Whisky Cocktail

In honor of National Bourbon Day today, I thought I’d try something new: the Improved Whisky Cocktail. It’s been around since at least 1887, but it was new to me, and I think it’s excellent.

• 2 oz bourbon
• 1 bar spoon maraschino liqueur
• 1/4 oz simple syrup
• 1 dash absinthe
• 1 dash Angostura bitters
• 1 dash Peychaude’s bitters

I used the excellent local Helderberg Bourbon from New Scotland Spirits.

Cheers 🥃
