Magpies Cocktail
0
Bourbon and yellow Chartreuse give a warm, herbal base, lifted by lime and finished with the spice of ginger beer. Basil and ginger in the garnish carry through to the aroma.
Mgr. Moustachio of Cabinet Beer Baseball Club in Miami created the Magpies Cocktail in 2011, inspired by Lynne Barrett's short story collection "Magpies". Lynne Barrett chose the drink on the first episode of the club's show Drinking With Writers.
