Kilted Flower

2 oz Scotch
3⁄8 oz CioCiaro (Sub Amer Picon, Torani Amer, or Bigallet China China)
3⁄8 oz Amaro, Cappelletti Sfumato Rabarbaro (Sub Zucca or other Rabarbaro)
1⁄8 oz Demerara syrup
2 ds Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole (Sub chocolate bitters)
1 twst Orange peel (As garnish)
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with an orange twist.

Notes

A little smoke in the Scotch department doesn't hurt. I used Cutty Sark Prohibition, but a mix of blended with a little smoky Scotch (perhaps 1/4 oz) could work too. Will prosper without it though.

History

After having the African Flower and the Maravilla, I decided to make a hybrid of them. I combined the amaro from each of them and dropped the crème de cacao, and for a spirit, I figured that somewhere between Bourbon and mezcal was Scotch. Scotch was also on my mind for it was Bobby Burns night besides it working rather well with Amaro Sfumato, and for a name, the Kilted Flower came to mind.
