Modern Cocktail
An amalgam of the "Modern" cocktail recipes in The Savoy Cocktail Book and a few other versions, this drink from Ted Kilpatrick of No. 9 Park in Boston is most distinguished by a cool, mentholated smokiness. Anise from the Pernod hits the nose, but mingles with the nuanced, peaty scotch. It's remarkable how summery a scotch cocktail can be.
