Blue Blazer
Probably the ultimate warming cocktail for cold nights. Whiskey with sugar and spice, flamed and served hot.
One of the most famous cocktails of all time, possibly created by Jerry “The Professor” Thomas at the El Dorado in San Francisco around 1850, it quickly became the most popular winter beverage in the area. A mix of scotch whisky and boiling water is ignited and poured from one container to another until mixed and heated. Then a little sugar and the peel of a lemon are added. Jerry Thomas never claimed to be the creator of this drink, but subsequent commentators have attributed this drink to him without a great deal of evidence to back them up. We make several versions of this classic drink, and the flaming potion poured alight from one jug to another is becoming one of our signature creations.
