Citrus, subtle notes of cherry and vanilla, white chocolate, bright and lively

This recipe was published in gaz regan's 101 Best New Cocktails Volume IV. Danny's note: "This is a very potable drink, easy on the eyes and pleasing to the palate. Spiritually balanced! Perfect for Spring, Summertime or enjoyed year round."

I used Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon (90 proof) to hit the desired potency and flavor--this bourbon has substantial, but not specifically-disclosed rye content. Kina l'Aero d'Or replaces the more cinnamon-forward Cocchi Americano (half and half Cocchi and LIllet Blanc might work as a substitute.)

Feel free to substitute rye if you want a spicy counterpunch instead of the complimentary sweetness of bourbon.

Despite its playful name, it boasts a surprisingly balanced flavor. An exquisite, coffee-hued cocktail with creamy notes, crafted to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace, savoring every sip. The drink combines the smooth, velvety creaminess of Irish liqueur, the rich taste and delicate coffee aroma, the mellow nuances of aged tequila, and a pleasant smoky touch from the mezcal. That is the true magic of this drink-a small amount of mezcal added on top of the other ingredients. This subtle touch of intense campfire smoke cuts through the heavy cream and sugar, drying out the finish and bringing a beautiful, unexpected balance to the entire glass. It is a bold, comforting drink with a surprisingly complex evolution as the ice melts.

D'Aristi Xtabentún is a traditional Mayan liqueur from the Yucatán Peninsula, crafted from fermented honey produced by bees that pollinate the xtabentún flower, combined with green anise and rum. This provides the funky sweet honey and minty herbal backbone. Next we bring another traditional Mayan Liqueur, Guaycura Liqueur de Damiana is a Incan herbal liqueur crafted from wild damiana stems and leaves native to Baja California, it features a warm, semi-sweet flavor profile with notes of chamomile, citrus, and herbs with a subtle hint of spice whichh culminates in a smooth finish. It is famously packaged in a bottle shaped like an incan fertility goddess. Thisis a revered indigienous tequila based potion that has been around for centuries. This is a tequlia for those who do not like tequila. This is an aromatic beverage that plays well as the base spirit in this drink. Coming in as the flavor modifier, eg. the kick is Zirbenz Stone Pine Liqueur. Zirbenz draws its flavor and natural red color from the freshly picked fruit of the Arolla Stone Pine grown in the Austrian Alps by the same family since 1797, it features a unique, resinous pine-floral backbone with a slightly earthy and piney with a minty berry finish. This pairs so well with The Damiana Tequila and the honey liqueur of the xtabentun flower honey. The finisher is the acid of Lime juice to temer it all out and results in a full mouthed cocktail where are parts work together to produce an awesome drink

A funky martini-like drink with a touch of mezcal, well held by the bianco and fino sherry combined with a little touch of orange and velvety clover almonds.
