  • Used 1/2oz amaro + 1/4oz gran Classico bitters
  • This is the best Amaro Abano drink I’ve found. Intense. Dark. Quite good. 2nd time: Even better. Maybe a touch easier on the Abano. Great drink!
  • The perfect mezcal-forward sipper!

I'm a fan of that pumpkin spirit. Very malty and lightly spicy, like a baking spice version of a genever.

De Rigueur

1 1⁄2 oz Scotch
3⁄4 oz Grapefruit juice (white)
1 t Honey
Instructions

Shake, strain, up, optional grapefruit twist.

Notes

A Scotch Brown Derby that actually predates that cocktail by a few years, first appearing in 1927's Here's How by Judge Jr., and reappearing (with a call for generic "whisky") in the Savoy. The original calls for 1/2 part Scotch to 1/4 part each grapefruit juice and honey, which many modern palates (mine included) find cloying.
