Damn you're good.
It's basically an old fashioned but with Bulleit Bourbon bitters, Bourbon barrel aged maple syrup and burnt orange. Oh yeah, and a boozy cherry.
Not sweet, alcohol forward with nice depth. Basically everything the AC Signature Cocktail isn't. But to be fair, we are at sea level.
Edit: And there is a flying element to this as I'm drinking this while the Air France crew (Nope, it's CX) are checking out of the hotel.

Well, had I known a "a boozy cherry" would be involved, I might have found a way to YVR for this event.
Seems to me between the cherry, the "Bourbon barrel aged maple syrup and burnt orange" and the CX crew, you're in a good spot. ^
Enjoy the YVR Do!

For those still in the vicinity of Yaletown, but who don't know where this is {I hope you registered for this!}, we are in the back end of the venue, then to your left, and in the table bordered (oops) by the simulated wood wall.
I am the man at the far left, with the blue laptop.

A couple of us kept the do going all night long, wound up at YVR, and then flew to SFO.
Then we split up.
This weekend was fun, even if the weather wasn't great. Thanks for organizing!
