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.

Notes

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

SO ...... I improvised heavily and used what I had available at the moment.

Balloon Farm

1 1⁄2 oz Scotch
1⁄2 oz Cynar
1⁄2 oz Aperol
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1 ds Peychaud's Bitters
1 twst Lemon peel (As garnish)
Instructions

Shake with ice, strain into a coupe, and garnish with a lemon twist.

History

Recently, a guest came into work and asked for a Paper Plane, and we began talking about ways to make the drink if Amaro Nonino is unavailable. After I mentioned that I have seen Averna and Montenegro used as substitutes, he declared that Cynar was surprisingly good as a fill-in; therefore, two weeks ago I riffed on it with Scotch at home. Cynar and Aperol are a duo that I have enjoyed in a variety of drinks like the Juan Bautista, Mad Max and Rucola Negroni, so I figured that it would turn out decent. I originally tried as an equal parts number and perhaps it would have worked better with a robust and smoky single malt, but with a blend, I found better success being spirit forward here. For a name, I dubbed this one after a 1960s performance space headed by Andy Warhol that I learned about in the St. Marks Is Dead book.

I have never seen a cocktail:

SO, I simply wanted to give it a try.
