Spirit Forward

I must confess, I love reality TV and for the return of Big Brother (haters gonna hate), I whipped up this sipper. I say “sipper” as this was really strong and I loved how the profile changed slightly as the ice melted and the drink “settled”. Seems there are many versions of this cocktail - this is mine. And thank you all for the bottles of all these great products :)

Stir over ice. Strain into a glass with a large block of ice. I added an apple slice.

Editor's Note

Equal parts bourbon, absinthe, and dry vermouth forge a bold, herb‑forward spirit forward sip that stands out for its daring balance of licorice and oak.
