.75 oz Simple syrup (1 to 1)

The Handsome Devil is our signature drink at Lucky. I was inspired to create this cocktail because I had been drinking a lot of Lillet Blanc and hanging quite a bit with Johnny Foster (AKA, The Handsome Devil). Little did I know that it would be featured in the Southern Living book “Bourbon and Bacon.”
