Ingredients

  • 3⁄4 oz WhistlePig 10yo Straight Rye Whisky
  • 3⁄4 oz Green Chartreuse
  • 3⁄4 oz Luxardo Maraschino liqueur
  • 3 dash The Bitter Truth Lemon Bitters

Method

Glass:

Serve in a Coupe glass

How to make:

STIR all ingredients with ice and fine strain into chilled glass.

Review:

The result is, as my mom would say, "highly drinkable." Intensely herbal to start, quickly transitioning to cherry and rye spiciness in the middle and a dry finish that is brightened by the bitters.

History:

Inspired by the Oh My Word, which uses bitters in place of citrus to recraft the Final Ward with lemon bitters instead of lemon juice.

Garnish:

Lemon zest twist
