I love infused ice. Your patience is rewarded with an increasingly complex drink. @dussecognac provided this recipe in time for the holiday season.

A Chicago River North tavern and Old Fashioned purists. They keep true to the original because why fix what isn’t broken right? -

Minty nose. Wonder richness and lush texture from the pea purèe and honey shrub but it is not heavy. There’s that whisper of bitterness from the gin. Bergamot/citrus notes with a fresh clean finish. It was my MVP cocktail that night. -

The Third Floor lounge at Two Brothers Brewing is a cozy spot in downtown Naperville. Lots of really nice bars in town, this place has been consistently high quality.

Punch Stand is a fun deck bar that’s part of Porter in downtown Chicago. Last summer before the world was on fire, many an after-work drink was enjoyed there. -

It’s a great cocktail. You can pretty much guarantee anything from The Dorsey is going to be great. I just found the mound of crushed ice difficult to drink; constantly blocking or clogging the straw. A minor complaint in an otherwise excellent cocktail.

You’d think adding bacon to anything would instantly make it better but in cocktails that’s there are no guarantees. The lobby bar however managed to pull it off. -

Almost too pretty to drink. Never would have thought rye, gin, and umeshu (plum wine) would work but it’s exquisite. Of course anything with Yuzu is going to be good. -

A bar on the rooftop of the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel. It has a gorgeous view of Millennium Park and the lake. If it wasn’t for this quarantine I’d probably be there right now. -

Bless the one who first thought to steep Cocoa Puf

Bless the one who first thought to steep Cocoa Puffs in bourbon. It’s genius, it’s delicious. I’ve seen it done before but not enough where it became dull or played out. Not surprised to see it at @alibiloungelv They don’t know how to make bad cocktail.

I could see this being my go-to fall/winter drink. Warm notes of vanilla & caramel of the bourbon, maple syrup, both punctuated by the herbal spiciness of Cinzano.
So rich, so good. -

Touristy? Definitely, but dont let that stop you.

Touristy? Definitely, but dont let that stop you. This place is legit. Tortilla Flat was the last stagecoach stop on the Apache trail way back in 1904. This place oozes history, the scenery is beautiful and that’s the draw. More a beer & burger spot and that’s just fine
