kilt & jacket

2 oz Highland Scotch (Glen Grant 16 Year)
3/4 oz Fino Sherry (Tio Pepe)
1/4 oz Maraschino (Luxardo)
2 dash Orange Bitters (Angostura Orange)

Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with a cherry.Two Saturdays ago, I returned to my Food & Wine: Cocktails collection and selected the 2015 volume. There, I discovered the Kilt & Jacket created by Nicholas Bennett at Porchlight in Manhattan. This was his Scotch take on the Tuxedo No. 2 (minus the absinthe but with the sherry element of other Tuxedo variations). Once prepared, the Kilt & Jacket welcomed the senses with a nutty cherry and malt aroma. Next, a crisp white wine sip danced into Scotch meltding into nutty cherry flavors on the swallow.
