Spring Sting

1 oz Cognac, Pierre Ferrand 1840
3⁄4 oz Aromatized wine, Cocchi Americano
1⁄2 oz Scotch, Laphroaig 10
1⁄2 oz Aloe vera liqueur, Chareau
1 bsp Amaro Nardini
1 Cucumber (small cucumber ball for garnish)
Instructions

Stir ingredients with ice, strain into Nick & Nora or other cocktail glass. Garnish with cucumber ball on pick.

Notes

Even without the cucumber garnish, the peat from the scotch, the Cocchi Americano and the aloe combine to make a slightly peaty melon/cucumber flavor. Good balance and depth. One of my favorite Chareau cocktails so far.
