Build in an old fashioned glass, add ice, stir to mix and chill, and garnish with a lemon twist.Two Mondays ago, I returned to the Bartender's Choice app and uncovered the Bellshire Old Fashioned created by Mitchell Taylor at Nashville's Attaboy in 2018. The recipe was Mitchell's mashup of the Beekeepeer Sazerac riff with the Monte Carlo from David Embury's 1948 book with Cognac entering to the equation as well. In the glass, the Bellshire Old Fashioned proffered up a lemon, honey, and Cognac aroma. Next, honey and caramel notes on the sip converted into rye, Cognac, herbal, and anise flavors on the swallow.
