| 1 1⁄2 | oz | Whiskey, McCarthy's |
| 3⁄4 | oz | Bourbon, Old Grand Dad (Bonded) |
| 3⁄4 | oz | Lemon juice |
| 1⁄2 | oz | Suze |
| 1 | bsp | Simple syrup |
| 2 | ds | Bitters, Fish Sauce Bitters (see note) |
| 1 | rinse | Pastis, Herbsaint |
Instructions
Chill a coupe with ice. Pour in a little Herbsaint like you're making a Sazerac and discard the ice and Herbsaint (though leaving a little is nice). Shake and strain everything else into the chilled glass.
Notes
McCarthy's is Clear Creek's peated whiskey. The bitters were made by a friend and are (evidently) half and half Peychaud's and fish sauce.
From other users
- Lots of subs so not sure if my assessment is fair: Laphroaig 10, Elijah Craig, Amere Sauvage. Smoke and bitter predominate. — ☆☆☆
