ABOUT
This cocktail comes from Harvard & Stone in Los Angeles, CA. Bourbon provides warmth, lemon keeps it bright, orgeat adds subtle nuttiness, and Angostura rounds it out with a gentle spice. It’s approachable, layered, and easy to sip, making it a perfect introduction to bourbon cocktails. Cheers y’all!
