An easy-drinking cocktail—it’s Dorman’s favorite shift drink—the Crown Chelsea uses a base of bourbon mixed with just a hint of rum. It also employs orgeat syrup as a sweetener, adding a nutty richness that complements the barrel notes of the bourbon. The allspice dram, meanwhile, amps up the baking spice notes of the other ingredients, while keeping the sweetness in balance.
