The Conference

For this week's Friday Buzz, we present The Conference. This is a split-base cocktail that was created by Brian Miller at Death & Company in New York City. It uses the classic Old Fashioned template of a spirit, simple syrup, bitters, and citrus but calls for four different spirits as its base—rye, bourbon, apple brandy, and Cognac. Let us know your thoughts on this recipe by posting your comments on the EC Crew.
