The Millionaire

sour · bourbon

Pale pink foam under grated nutmeg, promising dessert and then delivering a licorice-streaked whiskey sour. The absinthe is the entire risk here — a quarter ounce reads as perfume, anything past that reads as a dare, so start low and climb. I overpoured once and could still taste it the next morning.
