“The inspiration behind this recipe begins and ends with the memories I have of my dad; from his impromptu pancake breakfasts, to the ‘special occasion cigar’ accompanied by an old fashioned, to the backyard grill master weekends. I would not be the man I am today without all the lessons of empathy, compassion, and strength I learned from him. I wanted to create a complex, spirit-forward sipper that would sit well next to a cigar, with enough liquid in the glass to not make you get up to have to stir down another too soon.” — Eric Hausser

“The name “Forget Me Not” came to me because it’s simple, beautiful, and full of meaning. It’s also the name of a little blue flower that stands for true love, loyalty, and memories that last forever. To me, that’s what being a father is all about—loving deeply, staying present, and creating moments my kids will carry with them always. Crafted with Compass Box Orchard House Scotch, this cocktail balances bright orchard fruit with delicate floral notes — a nod to the beauty and complexity of raising my daughters.” — Tommy Techamanoon
