Notes:  When skimming through the always-on-point PDT Cocktail Book we came across a little vixen of a drink whose name “Louche” points to the mischievous, but appealing aura of Madvillain.  Like the dark alley you walk down expecting the sweet unexpected…trusting there’s buried treasure hidden under the blanket of the night.
