In my blog post, I deduce the creation year somewhere between 2017 when Pasubio was launched in the U.S. and 2020 when the bar closed. Probably 2018-19 given when the 2020 shutdown occurred early in the year.

flickerdart commented on 9/10/2025:

Made this with Smith & Cross rum standing in for the Appleton. I think the charred flavor kind of takes over unfortunately, but the concept feels sound: a dry baking spice bomb.

Sheesh. I saw the Reference showing a "Spaghetti Western" cocktail ....... and the only ingredient I have available is the Amaro Nonino. Go figure.
