As can be read in the notes under the following recipe (added to my book today), I wanted to make a drink that would present flavor similar to the Brown Derby Blossom – but that didn’t require finding heirloom varieties of grapefruit. I also wanted to promote the whiskey to be the boss of the affair. That meant a Sling, and specifically a true Cocktail – according to my preference. I think some of you will like this one.
