Audrey Saunders got into mixology in one decisive night. While bartending at Brooklyn Heights’ Waterfront Ale House in 1996, she took a seminar with the legendary Dale DeGroff at New York University. Saunders was so enthralled that she approached DeGroff and offered to work for free in exchange for training. By 1997, she was partnering with DeGroff for special events for The Rainbow Room, and in 1999 she was working with him at Blackbird.
The drink displays the height of the cocktilian craft. I you know the Laphroaig single-malt scotch at all, you'll be aware that the ten-year-old bottling is unforgiving in terms of peat and smoke, but Audrey thought it all out: one thing that Pernod can't easily quell is Laphroaig an adding the vodka, brings both the Pernod and the scotch to their knees.
The whole drink comes together harmony and a masterpiece is born
Gaz Regan
