Bourbon Bourdon Forte
Three Chord Blended Bourbon / Strawberry / Coconut Cream / Cinnamon / Lime
Inspiration for cocktail name:
I studied the organ we used to place the drink on for the photo and one of the knobs to the organ was a “Bourdon Forte.” The Bourdon normally denotes a “stopped flute” type of flue pipe in the organ characterized by a dark tone, strong in fundamental, with a quint transient but relatively little overtone development. The name is derived from the French word for “bumblebee or buzz”. I chose a stemless flute for the glass because of the “Stopped flute” pipe. A buzz flower would be an ideal garnish.
