The signature drink at what is perhaps Seattle’s signature craft-cocktail bar, the Canon Cocktail does two essential things right. First, it provides a delicious interplay of flavors: the sharpness of the rye whiskey, the herbaceousness of the Ramazzotti, the sweetness of the triple sec foam, and the, well, bitterness of the bitters. More than that, it’s about the textural layers that the ingredients provide: the amaro’s richness and body and the foam’s airiness. Consistently delicious, and intriguing, it’s a fitting drink for Jamie Boudreau’s bar, and for Seattle.
