Ele­gant and time­less. The embod­i­ment of Scar­lett O’Hara from Gone with the Wind… not to men­tion its beau­ti­ful scar­let hue. Next time you throw on Gone with the Wind dim the lights and shake up The O’Hara.

• 1 3/4 oz Wood­ford Reserve Bourbon
• 1/2 oz Bene­dic­tine
• 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 oz home­made black­berry syrup
• 1/4 oz Fer­net Branca
• 5–6 choco­late mint leaves
• 1 choco­late mint sprig for garnish

Place all ingre­di­ents in a cock­tail shaker except the 5–6 mint leaves and the gar­nish. Place the 5–6 mint leaves in your hand and smack the leaves with your other hand to wake up the mint. Add ice to your shaker and shake. Dou­ble strain into a chilled cock­tail glass. Gar­nish with a choco­late mint sprig.
