1 1⁄2 oz Mezcal
1 1⁄4 oz Cynar
1⁄2 oz Fino sherry
2 ds Peychaud's Bitters
1 twst Grapefruit peel
1 pn Salt (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir, strain, one big rock. Garnish with a grapefruit twist and drop a pinch of salt on the rock.

Notes

Recipe calls for reposado or añejo mezcal, but, lacking this, I've had good results with 1 oz blanco mezcal and 1/2 oz añejo tequila.

  • 4.5
  • Used Manzanilla Sherry — ★★★★★
  • Smoky, bitter, dry. Tobacco Road is a good name. A lot of amaro drinks - and many aperitivi - compensate for the bitterness of amari with sweet vermouths. This is all-in on smoke and bitters.

  • Actions better in a different order. It is easier or cleaner strain the mixture onto the ice than to drop the ice into the mixture. Dropping ice into mixture causes splashes. Name 'Chinese Characters (Kanji)' unsuitable.
