1903 Elegance

A cocktail that pays tribute to the refined sophistication of early 20th-century mixology while showcasing the rich complexity of Mary Dowling Whiskey’s Double Barrel bourbon. This complex sour is a masterful blend of flavors, starting with 2 oz of Mary Dowling Double Oak Bourbon, whose deep, layered profile sets the stage for a journey through time. The addition of ¼ oz ruby port and ¼ oz cherry liqueur enhances the drink with notes of dark fruit and subtle sweetness, drawing out the rich flavors from the original barrel aging process. A bright ¾ oz of lemon juice brings a refreshing citrusy kick, while ¼ oz of yellow Chartreuse adds a touch of vintage complexity, echoing the sophisticated cocktails of the turn of the century. Finished with three dashes of orange bitters, the 1903 Elegance is a beautifully balanced cocktail that captures the essence of timeless elegance, perfect for those who appreciate a drink with depth, history, and a touch of grandeur.
