Coastal Connections from Death & Co Denver

Originally, Scott Ruggerio of Death & Co Denver used Japanese whisky in his whiskey sour, which was inspired by the Penicillin cocktail. But then he found that rye whiskey added an extra layer of spice to those created by the ginger and bitters. “That spiciness is rounded out by the floral honey and raisiny sherry, as well as the sweet and bitter oranges in Montenegro,” he says.
