Ice Wine Poor Boy Cocktail
The Poor Boy Cocktail was created as bartender Darcy O' Neil's modest response to the recent surge in "the world's most expensive cocktail" phenomenon. "Most of these cocktails just included expensive vintage wines, like Sauternes and champagne, to artificially inflate the prices to get the title," he says. "The Poor Boy is a reasonable facsimile with an affordable price tag, so everyone could enjoy it." O'Neil, who is based in London, Ontario, writes a blog about his mixology experiences on his The Art of Drink website.
