You bought some absinthe for a cocktail, but now what do you do with the rest of the bottle?

Stanley Tucci has a lot to learn about making a Negroni. The question is, does he hunger for knowledge on this classic cocktail, or does he just want to play games?

Stanley Tucci's viral Negroni video inspired the Barrel to Bottle Crew to tackle this popular cocktail. As usual, things start traditional and quickly veer off into unique riffs.

Originally, the Sazerac cocktail was made with French brandy. In 1873, the recipe for the Sazerac Cocktail was altered to replace the French brandy with American Rye whiskey. We decided to recreate the original with Hennessy Cognac - plus ginger syrup, a few dashes of barrel aged bitters, and of course, a heavy absinthe rinse.
