Micah Olson’s a true believer in the craft of a cocktail. And he’s a big fan of gin.
Luckily for us, he also likes tequila, and it shows in his Dixie’s Delight, a special he served up last weekend. You can catch Olson again this Friday at Cycle, downtown’s pop-up restaurant in the Lexington Hotel.
With Olson, no ingredient is left untried (he later convinced us that even basil in a martini was a pretty good idea). And he doesn’t hesitate between mixing up traditional and experimental orders including the
Pendennis Club and North Shore Swizzle — each with fresh juice, shaken or stirred.
See his recipe for Dixie’s Delight after the jump …
