Boiler-Bach

Sep 14, 2016 | Say something

Another drink from Avery Glasser’s time at Amor y Amargo.

This drink is Avery’s correction of a drink that he never thought made sense: the Seelbach. Bourbon and Champagne just don’t really go together, regardless of how much bitters you add. Bourbon and beer, that’s a much better combination. Taking a classic Boilermaker as inspiration, he came up with the Boiler-Bach.

Listed as one of Tasting Table’s best cocktails of 2011.
