About
This cocktail was created by Shannon Tebay (@shannontebay) at Death & Co. in 2018. Bourbon forms the base, but small measures of Islay Scotch and overproof Jamaican rum add layers of smoke and funk without overtaking the drink. Strawberry and lemon bring the brighter fruit and acidity, while white vermouth adds a softer wine-based sweetness. The unusual addition of extra-virgin olive oil is emulsified into the drink with soy lecithin or egg white, giving the sour a richer, silkier texture and a subtle savory quality.Cheers y’all!
