Tilting Windmills

3⁄4 oz Spanish brandy
3⁄4 oz Puerto Rican Rum, Don Q Añejo
3⁄4 oz Amaro (Amaro Angeleno)
3⁄4 oz Sweet vermouth, Cocchi Vermouth di Torino
1⁄2 oz Manzanilla sherry (Float)
1 Orange peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir brandy, rum, Amaro Angeleno, and sweet vermouth over a large rock of ice. Float Manzanilla sherry on top. Garnish with an orange swath cut into a pinwheel

Notes

Created using Cocchi Vermouth di Torino, Cardenal Mendoza Solera Gran Reserva, Don Q Anejo, and Amaro Angeleno. Amaro Angeleno was a specific choice due to its flavor profile, but if you have to substitute it, use a bitter amaro that tastes predominantly of oranges.

History

Creation was inspired by a talk given by a Don Q brand ambassador, where they mentioned the name and logo were based on Don Quixote, hence the use of Don Q over another aged rum.

Shawn C commented on 1/30/2024:

I am a somewhat puzzled by the recipe with respect to the garnishes. Is this supposed to have 3 dashes of Absinthe stirred into the drink, with another 3 dashes of Absinthe added on top of the drink? Luxardo cherry syrup just sinks to the bottom, which might be the intent, to create a sort of layer in the bottom neck of the glass. I don't have wormwood bitters among my 40+ bitters...I might consider adding some Malort (which is a simple wormwood infusion) to the drink as a sub.
