Threw together a mixed drink 1oz rye 1oz simple syrup top with ginger ale ice optional. Also for the simple syrup I used this ginger ale mixer I got for the holidays but I think a regular simple syrup would work fine. Side note: this was the drink I made post going out to the bar so it might need some more doctoring to make it drinkable if you know what I mean.

A friend is doing some work for F1 in London and he found this place. Incredible agave selection. Anyone who loves agave and finds themselves in London should check it out.

Not especially original, but I think this is my new favourite take on a Boulevardier

such a great drink @prpx !

I find i enjoy this even more with an added .5oz of your favorite london dry gin

@pechelman - it is, does not have a bite, but orange bitters are very complimentary with cynar. Really good choice if one wants to keep it together
I’ll try it with a bit of gin, sounds like a great idea!

@pechelman - tried it with 1/2 ounce of beefeater and its even better. Great tip, thanks man!

[pechelman]

you're welcome @prpx
glad that worked out

After I tinkered with this myself, I think I read somewhere and in a newer cocktail book that the creator of this spec missed including gin in the original printing but that it was always intended to be there. Forget where i read or heard that.

@mclaincausey I'm of the opinion that if you love scotch broadly, Lagavulin 16 is part of the "core collection" that everyone has a bottle, and replaces said bottle when it run out lol.
