| Flag on the Play from Bar Margot |
Bar Margot's Super Bowl cocktail is concocted of Uncle Nearest Whiskey, Peychauds's bitters and sugar, a take on the classic Sazerac from Bar Margot bartender, Tokiwa Sears. Bar Margot serves lunch and dinner daily at the Four Seasons Hotel in Midtown Atlanta.
Uncle Nearest Whiskey, hailing from Lynchburg, Tennessee, has won numerous gold medals in international tasting events and was named among the Top Five Whiskeys in the World by Cigar & Spirits Magazine. The whiskey is based on the methods of Nathan "Nearest" Green, the first African-American master distiller on record in the United States and thought to be responsible for helping perfect the Lincoln County Process, a requirement in being categorized as Tennessee Whiskey. The distillery uses an 11-step, 25-day one-of-a-kind triple charcoal mellowing system that was hand-drawn and fabricated by engineers exclusively for Uncle Nearest. No other whiskey in the world utilizes this proprietary process.
Here's an easy and delicious recipe from the Uncle Nearest website:

- ¾ oz. Honey Syrup*
Put all ingredients into a shaker with ice and shake well for ten seconds. Strain into a rocks glass over ice.
