1⁄2 oz Tequila, Olmeca Altos (Blanco)

This drink is elegant and balanced (and really tasty). The other ingredients help highlight the earthy qualities of the Amontillado.

Planet Caravan

1 1⁄2 oz Scotch, Aberlour 12
1⁄4 oz Chamomile syrup
3 ds Bitters, Dr Adam Elmegirab’s Spanish Bitters
Instructions

Stir, strain into old fashioned glass with a large cube or sphere. Garnish with an orange swath.

Notes

For the chamomile syrup, make a strong brewed chamomile tea by adding chamomile buds to boiling water and seeping for 20 minutes at a 1 tsp chamomile to 1 oz water ratio. Strain tea, and sweeten at a 1:1 ratio of tea to sweetener. I typically use 3 parts cane sugar to 1 part honey for the sweetener component.

  • Boozy and sweet all in one. Subbed Macallan 12 and also subbed bitters (2 ango orange, 4 ancient trade bitters, 3 Peychaud's. Could try matching bitters better - maybe throw in some coriander.
  • I don't usually go out of my way to buy stuff for a cocktail, but I ordered the bitters for this one. Not as unique as I had hoped, but delicious. A bit too scotch forward - can't taste the Zirbenz or bitters.
