History

Adapted from a drink created in 2012 at Tooker Alley Bar, Brooklyn, New York City, by owner Del Pedro. To quote the menu, "This brash American Whippersnapper has been nattily clad by a classy old-world tailor. A puttin'-on-aits, high-steppin', diamond-pink-ed, cane-twirlin' dandy of a cocktail. Whippersnapper American Whiskey, Swedish Punsch, Byrrh and lemon essence."

Review

Forceful and Manhattan-like in style but with sweet delicate influences from France and Sweden.

I didn't have any Byrrh so I tried it with Cardamaro. It worked but the vanilla from the bourbon came through a bit too much and barely any fruit. Guess I'll have to get a hold on some Byrrh because now I'm really curious.

A delicious holiday cocktail! I use a homemade Swedish Punsch (it's easy and, IMO, better than Kronan - search Uncle Pete and Swedish Punsch on YouTube). This cocktail has great spice (bourbon and punsch), plus delicious fruit (Byrrh and punsch) and is quite sweet (all 3 contribute). A great cocktail for cooler weather (or maybe year round in Scandinavia!)
