Hello friends! Tonight, I have Ted Haigh's version of the Volstead Cocktail that I have been making for the past few entries. This one I did get the herbal flavors of my homemade Hercules, and it was a well-balanced cocktail. This wasn't as sweet as the original version, but the herbaceous flavor of the Hercules helped to bring a different dimension of flavor. While I like the original version the best, this third version combines the best qualities of the first two and makes for a fantastic sip...

Editor's Note

Cognac meets a sharp citrus blend in this dry, herbal-forward sour. The homemade Hercules modifier provides a distinct, complex finish.
