I have to be honest, I cannot for the life of me recall how this cocktail received its name. Likely a joke about how I tend to spill whatever I'm eating or drinking all over myself, despite being the lady that I am. Either way, one night, here at Gastro HQ, the recipe was created, the name was given, and well, here we are.
Wherewith, I Can't Take You Anywhere, a cocktail for those who love cocktails, but tend to wear most of their cocktail rather than drink it. Low-ball glasses recommended.
This cocktail has a wonderful balance of spicy heat from the Canadian rye whisky, an herbal sweetness from the Benedictine, and a fire-y kick from the Tabasco. I recommend using the Chipotle Tabasco Sauce to give it a more robust smoky flavor.
