copenhagen

2 oz Great King Street Blended Scotch (Famous Grouse)
3/4 oz Lustau Amontillado Sherry
1/2 oz Bigallet China-China (Torani Amer)
1 bsp Cherry Heering
1 dash Regan's Orange Bitters (Angostura Orange)

Stir with ice and strain into a cocktail coupe.
Two Mondays ago, I began perusing the Hawthorne bar bible when I came across the Copenhagen that was distinct from the No. 9 Park one with Gameldansk. Unlike the older recipe, this one actually featured an ingredient from Copenhagen, namely Cherry Heering, in a Bobby Burns-like drink crafted by bar manager Jared Sadoian. The cocktail subtitled on the menu "marring the view from Buckingham Palace" began with a Scotch, nutty, and orange aroma. Next, grape and caramel on the sip gave way to Scotch and bitter orange-cherry flavors on the swallow.
