Description
The idea for this inventive take on the Twentieth Century cocktail came from mixologist Brian Miller. Miller substitutes bourbon and Lillet Rouge (a red wine apéritif) for the original's gin and Lillet Blanc (a white wine apéritif). The end result is a complex, slightly sour and sweet drink with a hint of chocolate flavor.
