Flue-cured

1 oz Rye
2 1⁄2 t Chambord
2 1⁄2 t Spiced Rum, Kraken
2 t Fernet Branca
1 1⁄4 t Elderflower liqueur, St. Germain
1⁄2 t Campari
2 ds Bitters, Scrappy's
2 ds Bitters, Angostura
2 dr Orange bitters, Angostura Orange
Instructions

Stir with a few chips of ice, enjoy slowly as it comes back to room temperature.

Notes

The cigar/tobacco parallel is uncanny, possibly blackberry could be substituted for raspberry liqueur, also a bourbon might work. the Scrappy's adds bite but could be dropped if unavailable. Otherwise you can season to taste with a slightly sweet, fruit/flower/earthy goal.

  • Switch to metric to get recipes that make sense. I don't quite know about the "like smoking a cigar" but the cocktail is rich and fruity.

This looks interesting... are the amounts correct? How big is the drink?

they are if you are seeing them in metric, when i log in i get metric as is my preference but otherwise they are Imperial and look untidy

I guess my issue isn't that the measurements look weird, it's that the drink is just over an ounce in size.

good point, when i am fiddling i keep it small for a few reasons, i doubled the proportions now as i have tweaked it to no longer be a work in progress
