History:
The Rattlesnake first appeared as a recipe for six people in Harry Craddock's 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book with the notation, "So-called because it will either cure Rattlesnake bite, or kill Rattlesnakes, or make you see them." Our recipe, and the drink's newfound popularity, are influenced by a modern-day adaption by Will Elliott at Maison Premiere in Brooklyn, New York City, USA.
Review:
Spicy rye whiskey with a hint of absinthe smoothed by thick meringue-like lemony egg white.
