Improved Whiskey Cocktail
The word “improved” belongs to this drink’s historical name, rather than a promise that every whiskey drink needs changing. Maraschino liqueur and absinthe add small but distinct layers to a whiskey, sweetener and bitters structure.
The Blackthorn
The Blackthorn is a classic cocktail from the early 1900s that combines Irish whiskey with dry vermouth and absinthe for a sophisticated, herbaceous drink.
BLOOD AND SAND
The Blood and Sand is a classic 1920s cocktail named after the 1922 silent film starring Rudolph Valentino. This unusual Scotch-based drink combines equal parts whisky, sweet vermouth, Cherry Heering, and orange juice.
