🥄

Stir Rye Whiskey, Aquavit, Cynar, Green Chartreuse with ice. Strain into a coupe.

The idea for this drink came from blending rye whiskey with aquavit, a mix I enjoyed in other cocktails. I then added Cynar, Chartreuse, and mole bitters, inspired by my Up Jumped the Devil cocktail. The name Mockingbird, Wish Me Luck pays homage to Charles Bukowski’s 1972 poetry collection of the same title.
