Bare Minimum

Tom Lasher-Walker, Bleu Bar | Miami Beach

A reference to the classic recipe of spirit, bitters, sugar and water, Lasher-Walker believes his drink fulfills the “bare minimum” of requirements to qualify as an Old-Fashioned. He even skips the garnish, insisting that the nose actually benefits without one.
