I believe this cocktail was only recently created; I think it traces back to Sam Ross at the Milk and Honey Bar in NYC. I remained pretty faithful to his recipe but added fresh lemon zest for more pucker to the pucker.

Editor's Note

A modern classic that balances bourbon's caramel depth with the bittersweet, herbal complexity of Aperol and amaro. The extra lemon zest adds a bright, aromatic finish.
