Fare Thee Well Cocktail/Kiss in the Dark Cocktail

Fare Thee Well Cocktail                                                                

 I just discovered that I failed to post the first two cocktails we tried in our adventure so we are going to repeat them. Today we'll reprise No. 1, a 'Fare Thee Well Cocktail' found on page no. 80 of our 1985 Mr. Boston's Bartender's Guide and a 'Kiss in the Dark Cocktail', from page no. 110.

We really enjoyed the Fare The Well first time around, but tonight not as much (it was better in hind-sight).

The Kiss in the Dark was very good, however.

Two cocktails in one night - very enjoyable!
