History

Adapted from a recipe created in Spring 2009 by Jim Meehan at PDT in Manhattan, New York City. Jim was inspired by Jamie Boudreau's bittersweet Copper's Cocktail with rye whiskey, elderflower liqueur, and fernet, but felt the elderflower and fernet overpowered the whiskey, so he reformatted it to be more Brooklyn-like in style with Dubonnet Red. Appropriately, in French, DuBoudreau means "of the Boudreau."

Review

Reminiscent of a fernet-influenced Manhattan with elderflower liqueur vying for attention.

Pedantry warning. DuBoudreau would mean "of THE Boudreau". To get the meaning of "of/from Boudreau", one would have to say "de Boudreau".
