The Polka Dot was Created by Toby Maloney for the Violet Hour in Chicago and it’s his take on a White Negroni. This is another Stellar Cocktail from Maloney and the Violet Hour, his drinks are a masterclass in taking an approach to making cocktails, In this case, Milk & Honey, spinning it in a new way and making stand-out cocktails to boot. And what’s more, Maloney doesn’t often rely on complicated syrups and advanced techniques to make his cocktails shine. It’s all in the build and the ideas behind his creations. If you guys haven’t picked up Maloney’s Bartenders Manifesto, you’re doing yourself a disservice. Anyway, Enough gushing. On with the drink!
