Tasting Notes: Fruit plays gentle on the palate while the simple syrup rounds out the alcohol. The bourbon works well against the bitterness of the fernet However, the fernet takes a back seat to the slight fruit and bourbon palate pleasing flavors.
Curtis wins our bet on Fantasy Football and builds the King Cole cocktail from the Savoy Cocktail book. The bet was, if he beat Derrick he could solo a cocktail episode and take over the show. He won. So we take a deeper look at the flavorful spirit recipes of our past, interesting and different. A nice take on a bourbon recipe.
