3⁄4 oz Rye, Rittenhouse 100
3⁄4 oz Campari
3⁄4 oz Orange liqueur, Grand Marnier
3⁄4 oz Black Cardamom (syrup)
Instructions
Stir and strain into a double old-fashioned glass over a large hand cut ice cube.
Garnish with a orange twist.
History
Created nearly a month ago over a challenge to make a drink our cook would never consider.
Shockingly balanced.. despite my concerns. The black cardamon is a very strong / long evolving smoke and really does something nice with the hardcore bitter bomb of campari on the early palate and the orange liqueur (I used Pierre Ferrand Curacao) links them so it has a really nice long evolution and finish. I'm not 100% sure I'm even getting much overt rye though suspect it may be holding up the other flavors / adding a little fullness.
