The key to a Blue Ridge is the peach bitters. When you have the Fees peach bitters and then water it down with a bunch of Peychuad's, a wee bit of Ango, a just a whisper of the Bitter Truth Choco and then a dash of Regan's. You don't want to know the 50something botanicals that went into The Violet Hour's Peach Bitters. From there try to imagine having a pulled pork po' boy on a varandah. If the smell isn't right tweak the bitters.

This drink should taste like a pulled pork sandwich but made with booze.
These are the exact spects that I gave the bartenders.
A "Pig Tail" twist is a twist made with a chanel knife and wrapped tightly.
