Story
The final “boss” of the session. We started with a Witch’s Anchor to accommodate a bourbon sensitivity and a lack of Amaro Nonino. The shift came when we split the orange-liqueur component with Bénédictine to regain the low notes lost without the Nonino, anchoring everything with the clean, structural power of Admiral Rodney rum.
Method
- Add all ingredients to a large mixing glass.
- Fill with plenty of fresh ice.
- Stir for a full 50 seconds to manage the increased volume and achieve a velvet texture.
- Strain into two chilled coupe glasses.
- Garnish one with a lemon twist and the other with an orange or grapefruit twist to highlight different aromatic profiles.
Notes
- Bénédictine and Cointreau combined act as a reconstructed substitute for the missing Amaro Nonino.
- Admiral Rodney’s Coffey-still character is what makes the disparate herbal liqueurs hang together — a heavier pot-still rum tends to dominate.
