3/4 oz Cognac (Pierre Ferrand Ambre)
1 oz Punt e Mes
1/2 oz Orgeat
2 dash Angostura Bitters
Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with a lemon twist.
Two Sundays ago, I spied my new batch of orgeat, and the Manhattan-like Martinique and Filene from Pioneers of Mixing at Elite Bars: 1903-1933 came to mind. I decided to take the idea and include in elements from the 1919 and Japanese Cocktails. With a split base of Cognac from the Japanese and rum from the 1919, I opted for Jamaican rum to provide some funk and dryness to the mix. For a name, I dubbed this one the 1790 -- the year that the tropical almond tree was introduced to Jamaica.
