Friday Night Cocktail: The Perfect Louis

Mark Buettler from Dressler again, this time with a brilliant cocktail that he created. A riff on the Perfect Manhattan, this one using bourbon (hence the Louis-ville), organic honey syrup and the elusive celery bitters. Quite possibly the best new cocktail I've tasted in the past year. Mark makes his own celery bitters from scratch, but Bitter Truth does them, which makes preparation considerably simpler-although it does help if you read German for ordering them online. The fellas at Brooklyn Barmen have 'em, and no German required.

PERFECT LOUIS (By Mark Buettler)

1 oz Bourbon (Mark prefers Old Forresters)
1 oz Dry Vermouth
1 oz Sweet Vermouth
1/2 oz White Honey syrup (equal parts white honey and hot water)
2 dashes Angustora bitters
2 dashes Celery bitters
Stir 30-35 times, Strain up, No garnish

St. Patrick's Day Special Pt. 2: Whiskey Flight with Paula Reynolds

It's all Irish, all day, here at Embury. We sat down with Paula at the  PR firm The Thomas Collective, where she led a tasting of 4 distinct Jamesons. Cameraman Chad Mumm and I got to sample all the varieties, and we were rather cheerful when we left that afternoon.
