Best Buzz of the Week: Two World Hero

This week’s best buzz comes from Empire State South.

The “Two World Hero” cocktail is named after Marquis de Lafayette, the French military officer known as a “two world hero” after fighting in both the American and French revolutions. The recipe is also inspired by history – incorporating American and French ingredients, as well as black tea – a nod to the Boston Tea Party.

To recreate it at home:

1 oz Black Tea-Infused Pierre Ferrand 1840 Cognac

.75 oz rye whiskey

.75 oz Cocchi Vermouth di Torino

.25 oz red wine syrup

1 dash Angostura Bitters

1 sprig of mint
