Jordan Deis’ “Layover in Glasgow” is a riff on the “Paper Plane,” itself inspired by the “Last Word.” Jordan’ s version at the Hotel Fontenot’s lavishly decorated Peacock Room returns the drink to its Last Word origins, subbing the Paper Plane’s whiskey for gin, along with a variety of unusual modifiers. Scottish Botanist Gin’s closest airport is Glasgow, cementing the name. Jordan observes that his opulent work space is “a feast for the eyes.” He also enjoys the broad cross section of clientele that hotel bars draw noting “the beauty of the space attracts even more walks of life.” He admits he never quite knows what each evening holds in store. “One minute I’m making a 12-ingredient cocktail, the next a round of shots.” Jordan may not know what to expect, but we know the drinks will be delicious.

Clarified Earl Grey Whey:
1 liter whole milk
