The Italian Lesson

1 oz Aromatized wine, Cocchi Barolo Chinato
1 oz Poitín, Glendalough Mountain Strength
1⁄2 oz Bénédictine
1 rinse Kirschwasser, Clear Creek
Instructions

Stir and strain the first three ingredients into a chilled cocktail glass, and mist with kirschwasser loaded in an atomizer. Serve unadorned.

Notes

The kirsch mist at the surface of the drink has the same function as orange oil expressed from a peel: it gives the drink an aroma that prepares the palate to what's coming up, and brings up the beautiful cherry notes from the Barolo Chinato

History

Inspired by the famous 1920's monologue by Irish-American dramatist and actress Ruth Draper, the Italian Lesson showcases Cocchi's wonderful Barolo Chinato, brought in here to dress up this peppery bottling of Irish poitín, just like precious French and Italian elexirs were called in during Prohibition to tame the harsher moonshines and bathtub gins. Draper's character kept on procrastinating her Italian lesson for trivial excuses, but this drink would've certainly boosted her commitment!

TheTaj commented on 2/05/2016:

Made this with what I had on hand (JB bourbon and no thyme).  Nice cocktail, but I can see how the thyme would really make it complete.  I may revise my rating up after I try it with some thyme.
