Algiers Point

About this Cocktail

Two cocktailians came into River Bar last night, and for their second round asked for something herbal like a Green Point...or something inspired by John Gertsen. So why not both? A Cognac Sazerac mashed up with a Green Point (Sazeracs and Green Points were 2 drinks John enthusiastically made back in the day at No. 9 Park)! Named after a neighborhood in New Orleans.

Ingredients:

• 1 oz Cognac
• 1 oz Rye Whiskey
• 1/2 oz Punt e Mes
• 1/2 oz Yellow Chartreuse
• 3 dash Peychaud's Bitters
• 2 dash Orange Bitters
• Herbsaint for a Rinse

Preparation:

Stir with ice, strain into an Herbsaint-rinsed old fashioned glass, and garnish with lemon oil from a twist.
