archbishop

1 1/2 oz Smith & Cross Rum
1 oz Campari
1/2 oz Green Chartreuse

Build in a rocks glass, add ice, stir to mix and chill, and garnish with an orange twist.
Two Saturdays ago, I fired up the Bartender's Choice app and spotted the Archbishop. This "big, bold, and bitter" drink was crafted by Brandon Bramhall at Nashville's Attaboy in 2017, but it did not share the rum-wine Daiquiri combination of the classic Bishop recipe as the name first made me think about. Instead, the ingredients reminded me of a funky rum End of the Road, so I was intrigued to give it a try. In the glass, the Archbishop blessed the nose with an orange, caramel, and rum funk bouquet. Next, caramel and orange notes on the sip transitioned to funky rum, bitter orange, and herbal flavors on the swallow with a quinine and green herbal finish.
