Eccentric Billionaire Cocktail

Ever since my best friend, Paige, introduced me to this drink at my 30th birthday, it's been my go-to winter cocktail for large parties and casual get-togethers alike. Inspired by Employee's Only's Billionaire Cocktail, my version uses a lower proof bourbon and straight absinthe. For large parties I like to whip up a 30x batch a day in advance and chill it, then set up a beverage station where guests can serve themselves from my crystal beverage dispenser. (This dispenser looks amazing and doesn't drip! A must when your drink has pomegranate juice in it.) The homemade grenadine recipe makes a ton and keeps well for up to 3 weeks in the refrigerator. The Eccentric Billionaire ingredients. 2 oz Bulleit Bourbon 10 year Frontier Whiskey 1 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice .5 oz Powell and Mahoney Simple Syrup .5 oz Employee's Only Grenadine (do not use store bought!! Ick.) .25 oz St. George Absinthe 1 sliced lemon wheel for garnish method. Pour all into a pitcher, swirl with a cocktail stirrer and age it (i.e. chill it) for 8 hours. Strain into a single old fashioned glass, over 3-4 1" ice cubes. Float a lemon wheel on top. Serve to happy guests.
