Dolcinea @ Bourbon & Branch       This was my personal favorite at the December 2008 Nirvino Mixology Contest. It has that signature Bourbon & Branch richness and sophistication. Once you taste it, you can imagine being served this drink in a 1930s speakeasy just as easily as present day B & B. The egg whites are dry ... More »

La Reunion @ Swig       Initially, lots of people think there's citrus in this cocktail. The combination of rye, vanilla, and bitters give off a wonderful citrusy quality.
