This is a chef’s drink, no doubt. The name has had several incarnations at my restaurants over the years: “Total Domination…” It is currently on my Maui menu as “Ships in the Night.” Spirit-forward and totally sophisticated, it requires a solid two minutes of stirring over ice to chill and dilute the cocktail to the perfect texture and consistency. Try to have just one.
