Bean Country

2 oz Bourbon, Eagle Rare
1⁄4 oz Bénédictine
1⁄4 oz Coffee liqueur, Mr. Black
1 ds Bitters, Scrappy's Cardamom
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 twst Orange peel
Instructions

Stir, strain, and serve up with an orange peel.

Notes

A bitter start gives way to an herbal coffee sweetness with a hint of orange.

I recommend using a 90-proof bourbon, e.g. Russell's Reserve 10 year is a good substitution. Try adding an additional 1/4 oz of Mr. Black if it's not sweet enough for you; to spec, I find the drink's sweetness to be between my go-to Old Fashioned and Manhattan, which hits the spot for me.

Craig E commented on 12/09/2021:

It's ambiguous but the way I read that La Florida recipe, I'd guess the original calls for the juice of a quarter of a grapefruit (rather than a quarter of a part or of an ounce).
