Oona O'Neill

1 1⁄2 oz Whiskey (see notes)
3⁄4 oz Amaro, Foro
1⁄2 oz Oloroso sherry (Dios Baco Oloroso)
2 ds Orange bitters
1 sli Lemon (dehydrated, as garnish)
Instructions

Stir over ice, strain into chilled cocktail (e.g. Nick & Nora) glass. Garnish with a dehydrated lemon wheel.

Notes

Mythology Distillery lists this cocktail as using "house whiskey" which is not specified. It might be their American Whiskey blend of rye (95% rye), a high rye bourbon, and a wheated bourbon. I used Bulleit bourbon.

Foro amaro is often used in Black Manhattan riffs in place of Averna, but the oloroso sherry in this particular cocktail elevates and deepens the rich flavor.

History

Earliest archived link is from the distillery's website in 2023. Creator not given.

The cocktail is named after Oona O'Neill, who was Eugene O'Neill's daughter and Charlie Chaplin's wife.
