Story
The Black Cassino translates the Monte Cassino’s rye and Bénédictine core into a stirred format. Maraschino adds a restrained cherry-almond note, Cynar brings earthy bitterness, and aromatic bitters bind the modifiers to the rye.
Method
- Chill a Nick & Nora glass.
- Add all ingredients to a mixing glass with ice.
- Stir until thoroughly chilled and diluted.
- Strain into the chilled glass.
- Express a lemon peel over the surface and use it as the garnish.
Notes
- Sazerac Rye was the recommended bottle for this build.
- This was the preferred starting point among the conversation’s first group of stirred, spirit-forward options.
