Three of the country's finest bartenders whipped up some delicious original cocktails at the Black Grouse’s Distinctive Bartender Tour last week in Los Angeles. Alas, I couldn't attend the event, but I did manage to get my hands on a few recipes courtesy of "Friends of The Imbiber" Jason Bran, Joe Brooke, and Lindsay Nader:

Como Whisky Para Chocolate (created by Joe Brooke, Next Door Lounge)

2oz The Black Grouse

.5oz Solerno Blood Orange Liqueur

.25oz Marie Brizard Creme de Cacao

2 Dashes Celery Bitters

Stir all and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with small lemon peel.
