WHAT
Blue Ribbon Downing Street’s Country Lawyer
Once a headliner, the Country Lawyer—a warm, bourbon-based libation—has been retired from New York’s Blue Ribbon Downing Street‘s official menu, but measures can be made based for those locals in the know. Other lucky wanderers might also receive the cocktail through the intimate bar’s omakase sampler: a bespoke and thus ever-changing three-drink service crafted by each drinker’s personal favorites and a necessary sense of adventure. For those in between both fates, we’ve replicated the favorite drink below.

- 2 oz. Knob Creek Bourbon
- 0.5 oz. Zucca Amaro
