I've had this before and really liked it. Tonight I used Torres 10 brandy, Elijah Craig rye, Hotel Starlino vermouth, and Hella brand orange bitters.

Shake & strain

The profile here is somewhere between a 1794 and a Red Hook. Like elsewhere, Campari and Maraschino interact so well together.
The 1794 is one of my favorite drinks of the early 00s and Jerry Thomas' Improved trick works so great with whiskey.
Stir with ice, strain into a punch cup, and garnish with a lemon twist.
Smoke and funk accented by chocolate, mint, and anise flavors.
I had recently tried the Dead Poet from Imbibe Magazine and kept thinking about the Poet's Dream. I honed in on Batavia Arrack for some reason that night; mezcal and Batavia Arrack have worked well in drinks like the Smoking Jet Pilot, Airbag, and Esmino's Escape, so things progressed in that route.
Tasty and complex, but strong and a bit imbalanced
Mix and shake well. Let sit on ice for a few minutes. Strain. Serve up with 3 olives: garlic, jalapeno and pimento stuffed.
I used Ancho Reyes Verde, Fee Brothers Aztec Chocolate Bitters and unsweetened oat milk. Turned out just fine, really good actually!
