Inspired by the Southern-tinged charm of its namesakes (yes, those Duke boys), this cocktail from Danny Sawyer at Sable Kitchen & Bar in Chicago is all grown up, offering complexity without losing its playful edge.
The drink starts with Cocchi Americano, an herbal aperitivo that lends citrusy depth. From there, it’s layered with spicy rye whiskey, bright lemon juice, and a bar spoon of chocolate bitters for just the right amount of intrigue. But what really ties it all together is Liber & Co.'s cinnamon syrup—a rich blend of Ceylon and Cassia cinnamon bark oleoresin, demerara sugar, and cozy spice that brings warmth and balance in every sip.
Smooth, seasonal, and sneakily complex, Bo & Luke is proof that sometimes the best flavors come from unexpected pairings.
