Blackthorne | Cocktail Party

Blackthorne

This classic from The Savoy Cocktail Book, adapted by Gaz Regan in The Joy of Mixology, is essentially an absinthe Manhattan. Go very easy on the absinthe – treat it like bitters and add just a couple drops, or wash the inside of the glass with it instead of adding it to the shaker.

Ingredients

Instructions

Stir and strain into a chilled cocktail glass, and garnish with a citrus twist.

An awesome cocktail app with curated recipes

I'm shocked that there are no reviews listed for this app. I found it on reddit's cocktails forum. The drink list in this app is much shorter than in many of the other apps I've seen, but the quality and reliability of the recipes is much much higher. These are more like the drinks you would get at a good mixology bar instead of the drink equivalent of your aunt's jello fruit mold that people just "love." I much prefer a list of cocktails that are reliable, good and repeatable than a huge pile of garbage recipes. This app is great and delivers great, reliable cocktails.
