Cocktail Hour: Lion’s Tail (x2) #cocktailrobot

-•-

This is a Prohibition Era cocktail that (people say) appeared in a cocktail book published in Londan in the 1930’s but most history folks believe it was an American bartender who originally came up with it.

I want to listen to Buck Owen’s ’Tiger by the Tail’ while sipping this.

We did two versions over the span of the weekend.

 

The regular version (with the cherry garish).

The other is a milk clarified version. Maybe I’ll bring it to your house this weekend.

 

Here’s the recipe.

2 oz. Bourbon (@woodinvillewhiskeyco )

0.50 oz. Allspice Dram (homemade!)

0.50 oz. Lime Juice

0.50 oz. Simple Syrup (with Basil)

2 dashes of Angostura Bitters

Shake with ice! Strain!

 

The milk clarified version was like this, but much bigger. And took longer.

But friggin’ delish and just served over a cube.

 

Rating?

7 out of 8 lions that are wary that I’m going to grab their tale.
