Review:
I misread the recipe and used cognac in place of bourbon when I first made this cocktail. Realising my mistake, I finished making the cocktail and then immediately remade it correctly. Trying them side by side, I much preferred the cognac version. However, both are great cocktails with the olive oil adding mouthfeel and flavour.
History:
Adapted from a recipe created in 2023 by Lorenzo Antinori at his Bar Leone in Hong Kong. It has become the bar's signature cocktail where it is mixed in a spindle blender rather than shaken.
