Our man DKF has been in his secret lab again, flogging the cocktails, and he’s come up with one that really caught our attention. We love both Buffalo Trace bourbon and Domaine de Canton ginger liqueur – they’re fucking delicious. Check out what happens when you mix them up in one glass and add some cocktail-y stuff to the mix. We even think his name for it – Shanghai’s Last Gentleman – is the bee’s knees…at least he didn’t call it Shanghai Surprise. Keep ‘em coming, DKF.

Shanghai’s Last Gentleman

This sultry bourbon-laced cocktail is a true ‘East Meets West’ concoction, mingling slow Southern hospitality with classic Asian flavors. Muddled oranges – the “Chinese Apple” – orange blossom honey, and Domaine de Canton ginger liqueur meddle with Buffalo Trace Kentucky bourbon for a charmingly exotic cocktail.

2 oz. Buffalo Trace bourbon
1 1/4 oz. Domaine de Canton ginger cognac
1 tbsp. orange flower honey
3 drops, Fee’s Old Fashioned Bitters
3 drops, Regan’s Orange Bitters
1 slice of orange

1) Muddle orange, honey, and both bitters in a cocktail shaker.
2) Add bourbon, ginger liquer, and ice cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously.
3) Pour into an old fashioned glass. Enjoy the simple bliss of life that is a well-made cocktail.

Sorry for the lack of pictures due to a fritzy camera, but we decided to use a picture of fireworks. Because where were fireworks invented class? That’s right…China.
