Well, if you were looking for a reason to crack a coldy, here it is!
Today is the anniversary of Repeal Day in the USA. Yes, it was on this day in 1933 that they just got over it.
Mine is a Turf, no relation to the Surf & Turf;
2oz Gin
3/4oz dry vermouth
1/4oz maraschine liqueur
1 dash of absinthe
1 dash of orange bitters
Shaken over ice, served in a cocktail glass with a lemon twist.
Adapted from Harry Johnson's Bartnender's Manual, 1882

Probably just Liquor Barons
Probably just Liquor Barons in Mt Lawley, they have half a dozen different types. Preferred poison is Lehmann's from Spain.
Yes, Bourbon does sound like the right tool for the job!
