Thus it is…uh…late.

It’s BUH-now, not buh-NULL.? Just so you know.

When I heard the theme I had a great idea, because, well, everyone knows Bonal and rye go together so well, but man – stirred?? Feh.

My first attempt was a Negroni variant.? Equal parts rye instead of gin, Bonal instead of sweet vermouth, Gran Classico instead of Campari.? Didn’t work.

I blame Lindsey.

So here we are, and what am I drinking now?

Well, I gave up on the Bonal.? There’s a good chance mine is too old.

So I call this the Lindsey Special, because it’s nice and bitter, and she’s always so cheerful:

The Lindsey Special
2.5 ounces rye
.5 ounce simple syrup
.5 ounce Gran Classico
2 dashes rhubarb bitters
Stir over ice, serve in a rocks glass

Much like the drinks Lindsey seems to like, it’s simple yet delicious.

What…you wanted more?

Hey man – we ain’t got time for that.? There’s a doin’s a transpirin’!
