Simple Way to Colonel Sanders Age Of Death

Death Of The Red Ant

Sanders died in 1980 at the age of 90 after being stricken with leukemia.

Recipe Summary Death Of The Red Ant

Based on the Red Ant cocktail created by a NYC bartender. Be sure to use a good quality mezcal. The small amount of it here makes a big difference. I like brandied cherries for the garnish.
