Wolfsbane cocktail was a special on the menu of Cole’s French Dip in 2023. Our reader Jackson Crites is not sure who invented it but as far as he can tell only one bartender still works at Cole’s who knows how to make it. He had to guess at the specs so please adjust if you think it’s off balance.

Wolfsbane
This cocktail was a special on the menu of Cole’s French dip in 2023. I’m not sure who invented it but as far as I can tell only one bartender still works at Cole’s who knows how to make it (or even what I’m talking about when I ask for a wolfsbane.) I had to guess at the specs so please adjust if you think it’s off balance.

It was too tart. I adjusted the simple syrup a bit and then it was perfect. I used Banhez mescal.
