Created in 2000 by Robert Hess, the Black Feather is a signature cocktail for his home bar. Robert says, "This cocktail represents a bit of a balancing act with the various ingredients, which just makes it that much more exciting. With your first few times to make this, be sure to measure the ingredients carefully. When in doubt, add a little extra brandy."
