Various Positions
0
Rye and mezcal stirred with Cynar and sloe gin in an absinthe-rinsed glass, finished with Peychaud's bitters and a lemon twist. Smoky, bittersweet and anise-scented. Created by Frederic Yarm at Drink in Boston, MA, in 2022.
Frederic Yarm built this drink on Phil Ward's Lipspin, which combines Cynar and sloe gin, replacing the base with rye and mezcal and taking cues from the Sazerac. It took shape while Leonard Cohen's album Various Positions was playing, and the album gave the drink its name.
