Story
I asked for more whiskey-focused options that incorporated Strega and Maraschino. You proposed this “Golden” rye variation where the cooling mint and saffron of the Strega act as a counterweight to the intense heat of the Bennett Scorpion bitters.
Method
- Stir all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice for 25 seconds.
- Strain into a chilled rocks glass over fresh ice.
- Express a lemon twist over the glass and drop it in.
Notes
- Significantly drier than the bourbon or Calvados variations from the same chat — the Maraschino and high-proof rye dominate.
