by any other name

1 1/2 oz Nolet's Dry Gin
1/2 oz Fino Sherry (Tio Pepe)
1/4 oz St. Germain (St. Elder)
1 dash Orange Bitters (Angostura Orange)
6 drop St. George Absinthe

Stir with ice, strain into a Nick & Nora glass, and garnish with grapefruit oil from a twist.Two Mondays ago, I was perusing the Hawthorne's bar book when I spotted the By Any Other Name by bartender Peter Morales. The name and floral Martini stylings reminded me of the Any Other Name made with blanc vermouth and crème de rose instead of Fino sherry and elderflower by Hawthorne alum Dan Lynch for the Area Four South End menu. Here, the drink generated a grapefruit and pine bouquet. Next, a crisp sip gave way to gin, orange, and grapefruit flavors on the swallow with a floral and anise finish.
