Description

The Weathered Axe is an autumn cocktail that was created by Danny Shapiro at Scofflaw in Chicago, Illinois. It's served at the bar in multiple forms year-round but is traditionally made with bourbon, lemon, citrus, Cocchi Americano, ginger, and absinthe. What's changed up at different times of the year is its garnish; it calls for fresh mint in the warm months and a sprig of singed rosemary when it's cold.
