Listen up, party people: Today is a big day in the world of drinking. It's the 75th anniversary of the repeal of the 18th amendment. On this day [1] in 1933, the 21st amendment was ratified and the celebratory right of drinking was given back to Americans. To commemorate the occasion, I worked with my favorite drinking website, Nirvino [2], and one of San Francisco's most adorable bartenders, Buffalo, at the Alembic [3], to bring you this amazing cocktail recipe. 
Buffalo originally created the concoction for Nirvino's monthly cocktail competition [4], which I attended at Level III [5] in San Francisco. The drink is made with Canton [6], apple brandy, and lavender honey. The honey adds subtle body without making it overly sweet. To get the recipe of the le coup de jarnac — which won the people's choice award at the contest — and check out a video of the beloved Buffalo making it, .
