Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass. Stir over ive and serve in a chilled rocks glass with a large cube. Zest an orange peel over the top and garnish with the peel.
This rich, hot and spirit forward, syrupy vanilla cocktail is the culmination of all things. It will connect you with all the people who have wronged you and give you syruppy comfort in knowing that you were right.
The vision for this cocktail was born out of a consulting deal for a menu creation that went sour. I was asked by a new bar in the city (that wasnt open yet) to help build a cocktail menu they could launch with their open. We had a tasting and they loved all the drinks. I came back to them with a consulting fee and they felt it was too outrageous but we had a deal thast they would pay me for my time. They never did. I kept that hurt in the back of my mind and when they finally did open (and oh they have such bad reviews) if I were to see some of my cocktails on their menu I could threaten to sue, and I would be awarded for my hard work.
Excellent, 4.5/5, bumping to a 5. These are some assertive components so I was worried something would clash (esp. the Linie or the Caperitif), but instead this made for a complex but rapidly consumed treat. I used Cardenal Mendoza sherry brandy, which I am quite fond of and which seemed to unite everything in this drink.
