Jasmine Cocktail Story

A tart and bitter cousin to that icon of 1990s cocktail culture, the Cosmopolitan, the Jasmine was created by Paul Harrington at the Townhouse Bar & Grill in Emeryville, California, a seaside suburb of the San Francisco Bay area. The Jasmine appeals to drinkers seeking a comfortable middle ground between a Negroni and a White Lady, or perhaps simply a quaffable summertime sour. Harrington contributed to the craft cocktail revolution with his 1998 recipe collection of classic and original cocktails titled Cocktail: The Drinks Bible for the 21st Century.
