Two Wednesdays ago, Andrea and I ventured down to Backbar for Rachel Kopelman's last night, and she was joined by alumni Kat Lamp for moral support. On Rachel's "Final 50" cocktail list, besides many classics and some of her own creations were a few of Kat's. While I opted for a Sidecar since I had been hankering for one after hearing the episode on that drink on the Cocktail College podcast, Andrea selected the Unicorn Fizz which lacked a description (although the name reminded me of this one). It ended up being a Ramos riff akin to the Sureau Fizz but with St. Germain and Amaro Nonino as modifiers. When I asked Kat for a back story, she provided that it was a drink of the day, and it became a prank between her and bar manager Sam Treadway since it appeared on a few menus with a different set of ingredients each time. She said that this was the original way that it was concocted though.The Unicorn Fizz welcomed the nose with an orange-herbal aroma. Next, a creamy citrus sip flowed into caramel and floral flavors on the swallow.
