county priest

1 1/2 oz Bourbon (Evan Williams Bonded)
3/4 oz Cocchi Americano
3/4 oz Aperol
1 dash Absinthe (1/2 bsp Kübler)

Build in an old fashioned glass, add ice, stir to mix and chill, and garnish with a grapefruit twist.Two Fridays ago, I turned to the Bartender's Choice app and landed upon the County Priest. This recipe created by Hunter Orahood at Attaboy in Manhattan reminded me of the Vita Brevis, so I was interested in trying it out. Once prepared, the County Priest greeted the senses with grapefruit oil and Bourbon aromas. Next, orange and orchard fruit notes on the sip slid into Bourbon, citrus, and anise flavors on the swallow.
