New Cocktail! The Bogie!

Lets make a Bogie!

bogie in Indian English,^[1] is a vehicle on a rail transport system(railroad or railway) that is used for the carrying of cargo or passengers.

I modeled this cocktail on a traditional sidecar. It is stirred. Not shaken. 

The Bogie:

1 small jar (or rocks glass)

2oz brandy

Freshly snipped Lavender

1 Lemon

1/2 Tablespoon Simple Syrup

6-8 oz Soda Water

4 cubes of Ice

Muddle lavender in glass

add Ice

add juice of one half of lemon

add simple syrup

top with soda water 

Stir

Top with a Twist of lemon

(take a paring knife and cut around the lemon in one unbroken strip)

I added a rose. That was just for show. You could do it too.

It may get in the way. It looks really pretty, though.

Damn, this is good. 

Almost too good.

I had three.
