Devil's Own Mistress
Stir with ice and strain into an old fashioned glass with a large cube.
One night, I uncovered a note that I had made on my phone with a riff on the Away Colors that I had thought up. To the rum, Fernet, and banana combination, I added in Benedictine and Punt e Mes and took the rum into overdrive with Planteray's OFTD. The combination did not work as well as planned, but switching the aromatized wine to regular sweet vermouth helped a lot as did adding in a few drops of absinthe to brighten the balance. Since I was already in my phone's notepad, I went to a list of drink names that I had turned up in my reading, and I found the Devil's Own Mistress from Stephanie Schorow's The Combat Zone book that was listed as a nickname for one of the performers, Amy Walker.

Curated to add the lemon juice to correct the recipe. I would like to try this one, but Marie Brizard Poivre de Sichuan is no longer available. Anyone have a recreation recipe for this ingredient? I figure it will require someone with a bottle to create one.
