At LA's Redbird, bar director Tobin Shea leans nostalgic, updating the classic Allegheny cocktail with one of summer’s staples—fresh blackberries. “I had the pleasure of growing up off the Allegheny river in Pennsylvania, and as kids we would spend many hours canoeing, fishing, and swimming in the river, so this cocktail really resonated with me,” says Shea. “The original recipe calls for crème de mûre, but I have fond memories of picking blackberries almost next to the Allegheny river, so using fresh blackberries was a must.” Shea also swaps the original bourbon for rye “because the Allegheny merges with the Monongahela river, alongside which one of the country’s first whiskies was produced, Old Overholt.”
