The Ninth Ward

Category: SourMood: Something Different
Lowball

Ingredients

  • 45ml bourbon
  • 22.5ml falernum
  • 15ml elderflower liqueur
  • 22.5ml lime juice
  • 2 dashes Peychaud's bitters
No. of Servings:
1

Garnish

Lemon or orange twist, or none

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice.

  2. Shake until chilled.

  3. Strain into a rocks glass with ice.

  4. Either leave ungarnished, or twist a lime or orange peel over the drink and garnish with the twist.

Hints

  1. This cocktail is traditionally served in a coupe. However, since it's a tad on the sweet side, it often works best when served on a rocks glass with ice, as suggested above.

  2. The original recipe used Falernum syrup, instead of Falernum liqueur. Either should work!
