Ingredient: Simple Syrup, Angostura Bitters

Ingredient: Peychaud’s Bitters, Hella Citrus Bitters
Garnish: Lemon Twist
Method: Stirred
Glass: Coupe
Words: The mixing glass has been rinsed with soda before straining out this dark brown liquid. Starting oddly as lightly fruity sour before the combo of Cognac flows with bitters and herbs from D.O.M. Turning into a long and nice vanilla candied cherry and a small tip of sour finish.
4♣️ Toronto, Manhattan, New York, 1948
Who: Attapon De-Silva (B)
Spirits and others: Canadian Club, Fernet Branca, Mancino Rosso Amaranto Vermouth
Ingredient: Black Maker Root Beer, Spanish Bitters
Garnish: Orange Twist
Method: Stirred
Glass: Trumpet Flute
Words: Who would have thought he would rinse the ice with root beer which contribute a nice sting to a circuit of sappy and heavy herbal. It then molds with heftily gentle whisky to lightly dry pause as the cream from Fernet returns to be a last stop.
