Yes, it’s still the house cocktail. And Yes, we have to go to France for the Amer Picon from time to time.

We have sent an emissary beyond the event horizon. What is over there? Can light escape? Can you bring your own booze?
More importantly in this particular instance, what do you bring to a surprise party with a critical mass of Claggetts?
Why a big box of bad behavior of course! That did make things really fun lickety-split like. The Liberal was the most requested beverage of the night…until we ran out of bourbon.
Romey surprised the bartender with a kilt made by an Italian designer. She is a McGraw.
So much love.
We even corrupted the young people with first martini’s. Careful AJ, it is a slippery slope to 60!
And yes there was both music.
And philosophy of mind late into the wee hours. We’re pretty sure we chose to do that. But maybe not.
It is nice to be an honorary Claggett, even if it takes a little bar tending and a big box of bad behavior.

Subway Vivaldi witnessed with 2 friends on the way to dinner.
And the most important ingredient at the bar, amer picon, with which you make the best drink in the world The Liberal:
.75 oz cask strength bourbon or overproof rye
.75 oz sweet vermouth (cheap is better, such as martini rosso)
.25 oz amer picon
Stir. Serve up in a small glass with a Luxardo cherry.
Amazingly, nobody imports Amer Picon to the US. So you have to go get it. Oh well, it’s a good reason to go to France.
