lost & found

1 oz Wild Turkey 101° Bourbon (Evan Williams Bonded)
3/4 oz Averna
3/4 oz Campari
1/2 oz Lemon Juice

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail coupe.

Two Sundays ago, I landed upon an intriguing recipe from the Dandelion Cocktail Bar in Florianópolis, Brazil, called the Lost & Found via Kindred Cocktails. The recipe came across like a riff on the Paper Plane, and the combination of Averna and Campari reminded me of the Twelve Gauge that utilized orange instead of lemon juice. Moreover, the Cutter with Ciociaro and Campari was still fresh in my head. I was able to track down a post about the drink on the bar's Instagram, and translated from Portuguese, they described, "Inspired by the human saga of re-signifying the past, in dusty museums, in articles and artifacts. In thrift stores, antique shops, and the countless times we need to get lost in order to find ourselves."
The Lost & Found uncovered a caramel and bitter orange aroma. Next, lemon, caramel, and orange notes on the sip welcomed in Bourbon and a rounded bitter herbal flavor on the swallow.
