Everything Good Cocktail image

This make-ahead cocktail, created by San Francisco bartender Gillian Fitzgerald, is lightly smoky and wonderful with dessert. The chocolate bitters make the drink-and they're available online. Adding water along with the ingredients, then freezing the batched drink, means you won't need to shake it over ice.
