About Red Rot Cocktail
Named for a chemical mix used to recondition red leather book bindings, this gin-based cocktail incorporates its own "chemicals" of elderflower and cherry liqueurs. Invented by Lauren Clark and Misty Kalkofen as a tribute to the Boston Athenaeum, it's destined to become a classic.
