A cross between an Old-Fashioned and a Mint Julep named after the smell of BBQ, this recipe is a modified version of the drink served at White Lyan. The drink is pre-diluted and can be poured straight from the rerfrigerator into a chilled glass with a lemon twist. No ribs were harmed in making of this.
