Story:
This cocktail is something of a journey flavor-wise. The aroma is lemony at first, quickly
followed by a note of menthol and mint.
A sip takes you through into caramel, then Benedictine-style honey and herbs,
a bit of chocolate, and finally back out through the menthol. It was invented by Nate Dumas, a bartender at
PDT speakeasy bar in New York, in 2007. I
can’t find why the drink is named as it is other than a vague story that Dumas
was challenged by a fellow bartender to make a drink with that name. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Recipe:
2.0 oz Cognac (VSOP or VS)
0.5 oz Benedictine
0.25 oz Fernet Branca
garnish: lemon twist
-add all ingredients to a mixing glass with ice; stir until chilled
-strain into a chilled coupe or other cocktail glass
-express lemon twist over the drink, then use to garnish.
