See No Weevil



Back in 1915, the insidious boll weevil decimated the cotton crops of Enterprise, Alabama… and paradoxically paved the way for a stronger local economy. Hear about the monument they erected in thanks, then take a cotton to a drink that celebrates Enterprise’s alternate crop:

“See No Weevil” - a philosophy and a custom cocktail courtesy of Wes Fraser, bartender at Bottletree in Birmingham, AL.

In a shaker add:

  • 4 parts Stoli vanilla
  • 2 1/2 parts count Creme de Cacao
  • Splash of vanilla coconut simple syrup (to taste)
  • 1 part Half & Half

Shake and pour over ice. Sprinkle with cottonesque toasted coconut and dust with cinnamon. Raise it high, like Lady Enterprise with her weevil. Go nuts.
