Believe it or not, I am modest about a lot of things, but not my cocktail skills. I am an officially an amateur mixologist. But I think my palate is more refined, and my knowledge more extensive than most professionals.
So when LeNell’s newsletter came with a link to a cocktail contest, I jumped at the chance to show off my skills. After much deliberation, care attention to the rules and a focus panel of one (Adam) I came up with: The Flying Fig. Its light and fragrant and a perfect aperitif. As you can see, it is a beautiful drink as well.
