Two Saturdays ago, I reached for the PDT Cocktail Book for my evening's nightcap. The one that spoke to me was John Deragon's Death Bed that he created circa 2009 to sooth the malaise from a cold that left him bedridden. Once prepared, the Death Bed greeted the senses with a lime and grassy aroma. Next, the sip was filled with vague fruit notes from the muddled combination of lime, cherry, and pineapple, and the swallow began with dark and grassy rum flavors and ended with dark cherry notes.
