2 t Egg white

1 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 dr Bitters, Angostura (as garnish)

Dry shake. Shake, double strain into a chilled coupe.

Smuggler's Cove adds 1/4 oz Demerara syrup. The rum was originally Jamaican, but their Category 3 is "blended Aged". Ed. note - I'd use Denizen's Merchant Reserve here.

  • Thought the bourbon was a bit submerged, so bumped it up to 1.0 oz. This worked pretty well.
  • Wow, this is like a tarter Christmas in Kentucky (a favorite). Might be better in my book (but not others). Great cocktail.
  • Very tasty, chartreuse is front and center.

Credit edited per information at Difford's Guide. Original drink was equal parts at 1/2oz each, using Wild Turkey 101, garnish is (at least according to Difford's) a tiny paper plane.

  • Made with Lucano which probably isn't the right amaro, but with Laird's bonded, Cocchi VdT, and Tempus Fugit (and lemon twist), this is quite tasty. Strong Froot Loops on the nose. Sweet for sure but pleasant.
  • Note to self: don't limit to serving as a nightcap. 4.5 if I could.

Tasty, pleasant melange of flavors. Somewhat sweet, but expertly balanced by the bitter & fragrant alpine amaro. A somewhat smaller volume cocktail.

  • Subbed regular mezcal and arbol-infused simple. Less raw heat from chipotles probably works better.
