I wanted something warming, but complex. I took components of my partner’s fave drink, The Rusty Nail, and added one of my favorite amari and molasses bitters to add to the depth of flavor. This is a slow sipper, evolving as ice further dilutes it. Good to the last drop.

Editor's Note

A sophisticated riff on the Rusty Nail. Amaro Montenegro and molasses bitters add layers of herbal depth and dark sweetness to the classic Scotch base.
