Start with 1.5 oz bourbon, add 0.5 oz brandy, and 0.5 oz creme de menthe. Pour over ice into a highball glass and fill with club soda.
As a gentleman, I thought I would really enjoy this cocktail. However, I found it to be rather boring. The various tastes involved largely neutralized each other. The only recognizable taste is the creme de menthe and it is rather weak. It does have a delightful green color, however.
Shannon thinks it is just this blandness that appeals to her. The club soda and creme de menthe minimize the bite of the bourbon, which by now you should realize I do not enjoy. The part of this drink she enjoys the most is the color as well.
This drink also marks a milestone for the project. Today we started our second bottle of bourbon, marking the first bottle of booze completely consumed by the project.
