Put on Stun

1 oz Rye, Rittenhouse 100
1 oz Apple brandy, Lairds Bonded
1⁄2 oz Ramazzotti
2 ds Bitters (root beer bitters)
Instructions

Stir, strain, rock, twist.

Notes

After the first few apple/root beer-flavored sips, the taste transforms into something with a strong Bubblicious bubble gum flavor. It's somehow still delicious, but if that prospect worries you, I recommend serving it up rather than on a rock.

I recommend a tsp of simple/demerara to match the build of the Pop Quiz (essentially this same drink but with Bourbon as the spirit and mole as the bitters). Comes across as a bit hot.

I agree, this is way too hot and dry, a whopping 92 proof before ice dilution. The individual flavors are mostly lost from the astringent heat, although the rootbeer still comes through, albeit somewhat acrimoniously (I used Bittercube Rootbeer Bitters which I usually like.) Next time I will try the 1/6 oz Demerara syrup, ~90 proof rye (e.g. Bulleit) and 86 proof Laird's Apple Jack.
