The Cool Refreshing Breeze

The humidity and general meteorological unpleasantness of late had inspired a need for something chilly and refreshing... I was looking for the York peppermint patty effect, and where else to turn but creme de menthe. Inspired by thoughts of mint juleps, I took Bourbon as the base and poured two ounces over the ice in my shaker. Then topped that with a half ounce of clear creme de menthe and and a half ounce of creme de cacao... shook til it my metal shaker was too cold to hold, poured into a cocktail glass, and topped with three shakes of Fee's mint bitters.

• 2 oz Bourbon
  
• 1/2 oz uncolored creme de menthe
  
• 1/2 oz uncolored creme de cacao
  
• 3 dashes Fees Mint bitters
  

Combine the first three in a sharker with ice. Shake. Strain into glass. Top with bitters
