The Beatnik

What is The Beatnik?

Mixologist Duggan McDonnell created the Beatnik cocktail for Averna with just three ingredients, but they each contribute to an array of fascinating flavors. This drink offers a hint of sweetness from the tawny port wine, a warm oak from the bourbon, and an herbal and bittersweet undertone from the Averna. The beatnik is an excellent after-dinner drink.
