Recently, on a Southwest flight, I flipped through there magazine in the seat pocket. I came across an article for this lovely cocktail. The Nixon. Since I enjoy gin, and it is challenging at times to find new and interesting cocktails using gin, I thought I would try it at home.
You won't be disappointed, if you enjoy lots of herbal notes to your drink.
This drink is inspired by the sour-style cocktails, popularized in the 1960's and 1970's. It is simple, refreshing and clean, with herbal notes from the gin and benedictine liqueur.
As Always,
ENJOY!
