  • 2nd try used, Elijah Craig Bourbon. Next try, use Jim Beam black label (has more body). Switch from West Indies Orange bitters to Blood Orange Bitters for comparison.

Lovely. I used Bond & Lillard bourbon, Punt e Mes and my own blood orange bitters. Very chocolatey.

Reduce sweet vermouth to 0.75 oz, increase Averna to 0.75 oz
