| War of 1812 - Battle of New Orleans |
Sometimes ignomonious defeat comes with its own reward. As you choke down the bitter pill of loss, it is important to remember that you don't have to choke it down alone - you could be sputtering and swallowing it with a few good dashes of booze.
This Palative Potable isn't to make you feel better, it's to help you wallow in the stinking pit of losing. It's to make you take it all in a little more, just in case there were some details of getting whipped you might have forgotten.
Palative Potable - Bitter Defeat
1 oz Vodka
1 oz Dubonnet Blanc
1/2 oz Dry Vermouth
2-3 dashes Peychaud's Bitters
2-3 dashes Angustura Bitters
This drink has a designed hole in it. There is no finishing burn, no end to the taste - it starts off as a dry knuckle, and pulls back before delivering the whole punch. Don't expect to feel satisfied at the end of the bitter defeat, expect to feel robbed. It isn't even bitter enough to deserve the name, but it's just bitter enough to not be in any other category.
