Nomad Vancouver Restaurant Owner and Head Bartender Matt Van Dinther and recent winner of the Havana Club Daiquiri Competition made me the best whiskey cocktail ever: The Doctor's Orders. Named after Dr. Peychaud's it is a twist on the classic Sazerac Cocktail with Bourbon, Port, and Sherry! It is a perfectly balanced cocktail because the port is a digestive and the sherry is a aperitif. The absinthe rinse is very floral and the bitters add a depth to the cocktail not to mention the amazing home made coco vanilla bitters made by Matt!
See recipe below:
Ingredients:
1.5 ounces of bourbon
.7 ounces of port
.25 ounces of sherry
2 dashes of home made coco vanilla bitters
2 dashes of Angostura bitters
2 dashes of Peychaud's bitters
Absinthe rinse
Expression of lemon
Instructions:
Stir all ingredients then fine strain into a Absinthe rinsed glass. Add expression of lemon. Enjoy!
