Playing off the Lily cocktail that was featured in Harry Craddock's The Savoy Cocktail Book, which is basically this same recipe but with Crème de Noyaux. My mother, whose name is Lili, prefers almonds to hazelnuts, so, in her honor for Mother's Day, I modified the recipe and created the Lili! I love the way the citrus plays against the sweetness of the liqueur, and the resulting cocktail was really beautiful. I hope you'll enjoy one yourself!

Mary makes drinks for herself and friends. While her "usual" is Irish on the rocks, she loves to entertain others whose preferences span the spectrum, so she keeps an insanely well-stocked bar. At Chez Mary, not only will you find over thirty types of whiskey, you'll also find the ingredients and implements needed for complicated and exotic cocktails ranging from 13-ingredient tiki punches to fancy Manhattans with every variety of flavored bitters (Thanks, Brendan!). Have her tell you the story ...
