Now You See Me: Now You Don’t may center around magicians but we have the ultimate illusion! As the third installment of this comedy series prepares to dazzle audiences, we’ve crafted a cocktail that’s all about misdirection and surprise. This isn’t your regular Old Fashioned. The Vanishing Act is a clear twist on the classic that hides its rich flavor right in plain sight. Unsuspecting guests will never guess what flavor lies beneath its visuals. Using Bluebird Distilling White Rye Whiskey for its crisp, unaged character, we blend it with simple white sugar and then Dashfire Cinnamon Bitters to create a spicy, warm experience. Garnished with a bright burst of grapefruit zest, this cocktail proves that the best secrets are often the most satisfying anyways.
