  • This was fine. I was a little lenient on my rating as my curacao and vermouth were arguably well past their best by date.

Should really be served over crushed ice rather than up, as traditional Bramble.

Holy Smokes

1 1⁄2 oz Blended Scotch, Bank Note
1⁄2 oz Palo Cortado Sherry, Lustau (or oloroso)
1⁄2 oz Bénédictine
1 ds Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole
1 twst Lemon peel (expressed and discarded)
Instructions

Stir, strain, up, twist, optionally garnish with a brandied cherry.

Notes

Accessible as is, but a bit of Amaro dell'Erborista—whose honey and herbs complement Bénédictine so well—makes this friendlier for the KC set.
