Suppressor #1

Greg Best, Ticonderoga Club | Atlanta

supressor #1 cocktail low alcohol

As Ticonderoga Club partner Paul Calvert says about drinking suppressors, “You’re between two places, and you just want to hold the line… That feeling could last all night.”

To achieve that, Greg Best’s O.G. Suppressor #1 draws on the most basic building block of low-proof cocktails: fortified wines. Vermouth mixes with the savoriness of sherry and citrus notes, achieving compelling layers of flavor sans the booze.

Special thanks to our friends at W&P Design for this bad-ass pineapple tumbler. More over at thepineapple.co.
