The Casablanca
DIFFICULTY: Easy
It’s winter. It’s cold. We want a boozy cocktail that is simple to make, but not simple on the palate. This cocktail is a perfect solution: aquavit, Big O, and bourbon give you a Sazerac-esque start that’s refined and brightened by the addition of the lemon. It’s an upscale version of the whiskey sour that’ll scare away the winter blues.
