Two Saturdays ago, I began the cocktail hour by looking for a drink from the new Food & Wine Cocktails 2014, a best of the last decade of drinks from them. The one that caught my eye was one from Chris Hannah of Arnaud's French 75 Bar in New Orleans; like his Decolletage, this one was elegantly named the Accoutrement.

Nice! This one's dear to my cocktailian heart, if only because it was one of the first slightly-more-complex recipes I came across for which I had all the ingredients (Strega's a long story).
If you ever get a chance and are so inclined, sir, would you let me know what you think of the Accoutrement riff I did for MxMo Flip Flop, the Penannular Brooch? http://feu-de-vie.blogspot.com/2013/07/mixology-monday-july-2013-flip-flop.html
