Which of Santa’s reindeer are you?
Comet
“Dude,” says the Comet personalities, probably on a regular basis. “Chill” is probably another one of their favourite words. These level-headed individuals aren’t rattled by much. But that doesn’t mean they can’t enjoy the finer things in life. In fact, they love them. So they deserve a cocktail that combines luxury and balance, to let the mellow times roll.
This cocktail, developed by Montreal bartender Nader Chabaane of Fairmont Reine Elizabeth, is equal parts luxury and “chill”.
1 1/2 oz Woodford Reserve
1/4 oz Amaro Montenegro
