Blackthorne Cocktail
Recipe adapted from Tom Bullock's 1917 "The Ideal Bartender", the first cocktail book published by an African American author. Bullock is part of a rich legacy of Black pre-prohibition bartenders. This low proof, sessionable stirred cocktail has great depth and would be a welcomed enhancer to almost any meal.
