  • As described. A riff on a Margarita. The Cassis adds little but the Benedictine is a nice addition.
  • A good showcase for the Boudier cassis.

  • Less-sweet alternative to a Paloma. Reduced liqueurs to 0.5oz each & still works. Also great with: float of mezcal, dash of orange bitters, salt rim. Shake other ingredients before adding soda. — ★★★★★

Do you have a recommendation for a more globally available amaro that CH Distillery is comparable to? 

Lunchflower, I'd suggest Cynar 70 as the closest sub for the CH Amaro.

  • Prefer 1/2 or 3/4 Mezcal, 1/2 GC, and barspoon Lux. A nice Last Word riff.
  • Delicious sour, top notch - great replacement for a Margarita.
  • Delicious. The savory notes from the celery bitters add a dimension I didn't know I needed in my Last Word.

Interestingly, a different cocktail of the same name appeared several years after this one was published here. That one is a low alcohol combination that also contains oloroso sherry, but with Spanish vermouth, sherry brandy, and honey syrup. It is credited to Kellie Thorn of Atlanta. but without a date given by Punch And Difford's. A check of the Wayback Machine doesn't show those recipe links archived before 2022.

Old Hickory

3⁄4 oz Bourbon, Old Grand Dad 100 (hickory smoked)
1 1⁄4 oz Rye, Rittenhouse 100
1⁄4 oz Virgin Islands Rum, Cruzan Blackstrap
1 bsp Demerara syrup
12 dr Bitters, Bitter End Memphis Barbecue
1 twst Orange peel
Instructions

Stir, strain into old fashioned glass with a large cube. Garnish with orange peel.

Notes

For the hickory smoked bourbon, smoke a 750ml bottle of Old Grand-Dad 100 bourbon with hickory wood chips using a PolyScience hand smoker (roughly 2/3 a bowl seems to be about right, a full bowl is too much)
