After the Mr. Clark's Cane, I turned to the 75th anniversary edition of the Mr. Boston Official Bartender's Guide and spotted the Doff Your Hat in the gin section. The recipe was crafted by David Willhite who now bartends at Chicago's Bristol, and the combination of juniper spirit, Grand Marnier, and Cynar reminded me of Scott Holliday's Hugo Ball. Once mixed, the Doff Your Hat shared a malty aroma brightened by orange oil accents. A rich malty and grape sip then led into a swallow that began with Cynar's herbal and Genever's botanical notes and ended with Grand Marnier's orange finish.
