More Supreme

Alec Bales, Ticonderoga Club | Atlanta

The first drink Alec Bales landed on the Ticonderoga Club menu, the More Supreme hews closely to the Daiquiri blueprint, but opts for a base of aged rhum agricole for a rich, almost savory rendition. A quarter-ounce of Campari sunk to the bottom of the cocktail offers an unexpected last sip. “The idea was, if I had to have one cocktail right before eating a meal and I couldn’t decide between a Daiquiri and a Negroni,” says Bales.
