David Wondrich Explains His Classic Halloween Cocktail, The Bone

Today I sit down with legendary cocktail historian and acclaimed author David Wondrich to speak about and make his The Bone cocktail. This cocktail was Esquire Magazine’s Official Halloween Cocktail of 2010 and now, more than a decade later, we are bringing it back! For those who aren’t familiar, David’s books Imbibe!, Punch, and The Oxford Companion to Spirits and Cocktails are must-have’s for home bartending enthusiasts!

It’s a straightforward cocktail with ingredients that many of you will have on hand.

Be sure to stick around at the end of the video to hear what David thinks is the most overrated cocktail! (Hint: it’s a popular one)

The Bone Cocktail Recipe:

• 2 oz Wild Turkey Rye (101 proof)
• ¼ oz fresh lime juice
• ¼ oz Liber & Co. Demerara (or simple syrup)
• 3 dashes Tabasco sauce

Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice and shake for 15 seconds. Pour into a frozen glass of your choice.
