A famously busy bartender once told me “almond flavors want to and need to shack up together in chilled coupe glasses with lemon”, and I believed her. Who knew. Then she added some rye whiskey, a little dash of this, a little dash of that, and some fresh rosemary. I’ve been a devoted pupil of hers ever since. And every now and then I take notes. The exact recipe is contained here within. She should be famous. This drink is noteworthy.
