Description

The Boo Radley is a modern cocktail that was created by Chris Hannah at French 75 in New Orleans, Louisiana. It's a variation based on the classic Creole Cocktail that calls for bourbon as the base spirit, but instead of vermouth, Amer Picon, and Bénédictine, it adds Cynar for its menacing color and slightly bitter taste as well as cherry liqueur for its innocent sweetness to balance it back out. The drink is aptly named for the frightening yet ultimately gentle neighbor of the Finch family in the book To Kill a Mockingbird.
