About
This cocktail was created by Tom Richter (@tomr_richter) at Dear Irving in New York City in 2015. It is a modern take on the aptly named Modern Cocktail, replacing its sugar with honey and simplifying the original build. The Scotch and sloe gin bring malt and dark fruit, while the absinthe rinse adds a light herbal note around the edges.Cheers y’all!
