“At Peacock Alley, we have debuted our Robert Burns Cocktail. It’s a hybrid of the Old Waldorf Bar Book recipe which is essentially a Rob Roy with absinthe, and the Bobby Burns, from the Old Savoy Cocktail Book, which is equal parts scotch, sweet vermouth, and a bit of Benedictine...I did not add (orange) bitters to this version as I feel the drink is complex enough and the bitters helped to muddy up the mix. To happily confuse things more, I asked the Waldorf Astoria pastry kitchen to make shortbread cookies as a garnish (thanks, guys!)....I think the small changes make a big difference (and the finish is awesome!). Enjoy!” Frank Caiafa
