Absinthia Bottled Spirits

The Billionaire

The Billionaire is a bold and well-appointed whiskey sour. Bourbon forms a confident foundation, brightened by fresh lemon and tempered by the rich sweetness of pomegranate grenadine. A measure of Absinthia Absinthe Verte adds herbal depth that turns this classic sour format into something altogether more distinguished.
