The Lion's Tail - a perfect fall cocktail

In today's video, I mix up a perfect fall cocktail, the lion's tail! This drink dates back to the 1930's, and at the bar has attracted quite the following. Here, bourbon''s paired with lime and allspice inching this cocktail towards the likes of tiki. Perfect for a fall afternoon, this spicy/snappy sour is honestly wonderful every season of the year. Cheers!
