Hotel Allegro - Chicago - 90th Anniversary

The historic Route 66 is turning 90 this year and so is Chicago’s Hotel Allegro, a Kimpton boutique property. In honor of the building’s 90th Anniversary and the 90^th Anniversary of America’s Highway (which originated in Chicago), Bar Allegro is celebrating with its Route 66 tribute cocktail, Kerouac’s Journey. The cocktail is a boozy version of an apple pie and dedicated to Jack Kerouac who loved the road and his liquor!

Here’s the recipe:

Kerouac’s Journey

1 oz Laird’s Apple Brandy

1 oz Sailor Jerry’s

½ oz Bols Apricot Brandy

½ oz Demi syrup

Top with Ginger Beer

First rim ½ of a rocks glass with a sugar and cinnamon. Shake all ingredients except ginger beer and strain into rocks glass over fresh ice. Top with Ginger Beer.

Cheers!
