The Five O'Clock: 19th Century Cocktail
Photo by Michael Marquand
Brian Miller, mixologist at NYC’s The Polynesian (and formerly of The Pegu Club and Death & Company) riffs on the gin-based 20th Century by using bourbon instead of gin and Lillet Rouge instead of Lillet Blanc. This ruby toned cocktail is a bourbon-based gem, and a perfect Five O’Clock for TABLE Magazine’s #bourbonweek, and the perfect aperitif for a menu of Bourbon-Glazed Lamb Chops, Bourbon-Spiked Baby Beets, and Salad with Apple Bourbon Dressing.
