“The BLT is one of those cocktails that has a very different and unusual response among its tasters,” says Brent Jones, mixologist at Hotel Jerome, A RockResort, in Aspen, Colorado. “More often than not I hear, ‘Wow, I did not expect that.’”
Jones says that reaction comes from the fact that the cocktail’s combination of flavors is so very reminiscent of the item that influenced its creation: the bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich.
