1/2 oz Braulio Amaro
1/4 oz Smith & Cross Rum
3/4 oz Orgeat
3/4 oz Lemon Juice
Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with grated nutmeg.
For a next drink, I requested the Trinidad & Toboggan from bartender Look Theres which was subtitled on the menu as "see what we did there? drink lots of Angostura bitters with winter flavors!" Fortuitously, it was bartender Look's creation, and he explained how the drink came about. One night, he had a guest who was amazed with the Angostura Bitters-heavy Trinidad Sour and also interested in Amaro Braulio. Look threw the two together and was pleased with the first pass results; it did require a touch of tinkering, and the improved version is what appears on the menu right now.

Braulio is now available here. Sadly Smith&Cross no longer is.
S&C plays such a minor role in this drink. Perhaps another funky rich Jamaican rum like Coruba? Or if you can get Ed Hamilton's rums.
