white collar

2 oz Rye Whiskey (Old Overholt 86°)
1/2 oz Blanc Vermouth (Dolin)
1/2 oz Amaro Ciociaro
1 bsp Maraschino (1/8 oz Luxardo)
2 dash Orange Bitters (Angostura Orange)

Stir with ice, strain into a coupe, and garnish with a lemon twist.Two Mondays ago, I opened up the Bartender's Choice app for the evening's libation. There, I uncovered the White Collar crafted by Zachary Gelnaw-Rubin at Dutch Kills in 2014 that appeared like a sweeter Brooklyn. The name itself reminded me of Michael Madrusan's Blue Collar that he accidentally created when mixing up the recipe for a Brooklyn and a Liberal. After stirring and straining, the White Collar showcased a lemon and nutty cherry aroma. Next, caramel and cherry notes on the sip led into rye and bitter orange-cherry flavors on the swallow.
