this is uh you know nothing like it's not a well it is but we use this for most of our drinks um with bourbon so it's awesome I'm gonna add a little bit of orange yet which is an almond um based and it's not it's not a liqueur because it doesn't have any liquor in it so it's an almond based syrup I guess you'd call it

and I'm going to add some bitters a couple of bitters aromatic Bitters and I'm gonna add some chocolate bitters as well and I'm gonna give that a little stir and you know what I don't have my oranges out but I would put an orange grind in here it's got a little smoky flavor [Music] that is surprisingly really good so Smoky um really nice texture the Almond

makes it creamy so it's really cool so thanks everybody for joining me if you are joining live we can do hashtag live in the comments if you're watching on the replay hashtag replay I appreciate everybody tonight's flops tonight come on down come get some Lobster four Wines in a dish tonight as well 35 please call ahead and make reservations that starts at 6 30. hope everybody
