When I was creating this cocktail, I realized that the drink had all the hallmarks of Paul Clarke. We all know that he has always loved rye, that he has had an affair with sherry, and that he has always been a champion of things home made. When he came into Vessel, I made the cocktail for him, of which he approved. The issue for our dear friend Paul now that I am no longer at Vessel is, Where else is he going to be able to order this pleasant libation? And therein lies Clarke’s Conundrum.
