Review:
A minty fresh, dry, whiskey-based palate cleanser.
History:
Created by Ted "Dr. Cocktail" Haigh, who hails from America's Delmarva Peninsula. I believe Ted's original recipe (and certainly our previous rendition of it) comprised:
60ml (2oz) Bourbon
15ml (½oz) Dry vermouth
15ml (½oz) White crème de menthe
15ml (½oz) Lemon juice
I reworked and rebalanced this to the above recipe in August 2022.
