Two Sundays ago, I wrapped up the end of my work week by peering into the Death & Co. Cocktail Book for a recipe. There, I was drawn to the Swizzle section and found Brian Miller's 2009 tribute to American blues musician Robert Leroy Johnson. Once prepared, the Robert Johnson Swizzle shared a cinnamon, mint, and vanilla aroma. Next, lemon, malt, and grape on the sip gave way to Bourbon and complementary vanilla notes on the swallow.
