3/4 oz Aquavit (Aalborg)
1/2 oz Suze
2 dash Mole Bitters (Bittermens)
Stir with ice, strain into a rocks glass with ice, and garnish with an orange twist.
(*) I wish that I had used Rittenhouse here for greater spice to work against the aquavit.
Two Fridays ago, I was inspired by last night's combination in the Cubist of aquavit and Suze to riff on it. To the aquavit, I recalled how well it paired with rye whiskey in the Long Way Home, the Carra-Ryed Away, and other recipes. I considered adding an aromatized wine to the mix, but I opted to keep this in the style of an Old Fashioned for simplicity's sake. As for a name, I recalled the painting Nude Descending a Staircase as being sort of Cubist. Indeed, Marcel Duchamp's 1912 work was first labeled as Cubist before being rejected by the art movement as being too Futuristic.
