Ingredients
- 45 ml Angostura® Bitters
- 30 ml Orgeat Syrup
- 22.5 ml Lemon Juice
- 15 ml Rye Whiskey
Instructions
- Pour all ingredients into a cocktail shaker, shake well with ice. Strain into chilled cocktail glass.
An entire ounce and a half of Angostura as the base spirit, which sounds like a dare and turns out to be a great drink. Orgeat's almond richness absorbs the bitters' intensity, lemon sharpens it, and a small pour of rye anchors the bottom. It comes out opaque mahogany and tastes of clove, cinnamon and marzipan. Giuseppe Gonzalez built it, and nobody believes it works until they try it.
