spaghetti western #2

1 1/2 oz Bourbon (Evan Williams Bonded)
1/2 oz Mezcal (Fidencio)
3/4 oz Punt e Mes
1/4 oz Strega

Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with a flamed orange twist (unflamed).Two Mondays ago, I decided to make another recipe that I had spotted on Kindred Cocktails called the Spaghetti Western #2. The drink created by Martin Corriveau of Vancouver's La Pentola circa 2013, and the combination of American whiskey, Strega, and Punt e Mes reminded me of Evan Harrison's Nonantum Cocktail but here with a smoky agave flair. In the glass, the Spaghetti Western #2 greeted the senses with orange, vegetal, and smoke aromas. Next, a rich grape note on the sip galloped into Bourbon, smoky mezcal, herbal, and piny mint flavors on the swallow.
