“What’s your poison?”
"So begins many a boozy adventure, but this also happens to be an excellent way to approach an Agatha Christie novel. The Queen of Crime used poisons more than any other means to murder her characters. Fail to pay attention to what you’re imbibing in a Christie mystery, and you very well may find yourself—well, written out of the story.”

The Agatha Whiskey
2 oz bourbon whiskey
2 oz blackberry juice
1 oz blackberry liqueur (Heimat New York Blackberry recommended)
1 oz mint simple syrup
1 egg white
2 blackberries and mint springs for garnish
In a shaker filled with ice, combine all ingredients, shake well until chilled and frothy. Strain evenly between two glasses, take top off the shaker, and spoon froth on top of each glass. Garnish each glass with a blackberry and a mint sprig and serve.
To create a mocktail, replace whiskey with Kentucky 74 or another non-alcoholic spirit, add 1 ounce additional blueberry juice, and prepare as above.
