Bacchus at Babel, located just above a seedy dive bar charmingly referred as The Dirty Spank, is a private drinking club housed within an infinite library. We offer nothing but the rarest of spirits and only classic, exotic, or positively unique cocktails. Occasionally, we may make available to our patrons bottles of 1982 Château Pétrus upon request, but we typically do not serve beer or wine.
This week, our mixologist will offer an Armagnac tasting as well as his signature Last Word:
1 part Hendrick's Gin
1 part Green Chartreuse
1 part fresh lime juice
1 part Original Maraska Maraschino Liqueur
We have an affinity for anything based upon a recipe developed by Carthusian monks utilizing the alchemical principles of medieval apothecaries and more than 130 local herbs, so chartreuse is more than just our favorite color.
In keeping with the same theme, we chose Original Maraska for the maraschino cherry element of the last word. Dominican apothecaries, housed in a monastery in Zadar, Croatia, first created the miraculous elixir that is known today as Original Maraska Maraschino Liqueur. The first recipe appeared in that Zadar monastery in the 16th Century, and the drink was known at the time as Rožolj – derived from the latin ros solis for “dew of the sun.”
We need not introduce Hendrick’s Gin.
For discussion purposes, be prepared to compete for the “last word” on our literary subject of the week, Umberto Eco’s Il nome della rosa, and other issues related to semiotics.
