counterfeit rifle

1 1/2 oz Rye Whiskey (Rittenhouse)
1/2 oz Benedictine
1/2 oz Amaro Meletti
1/2 oz Lemon Juice
2 dash Lemon Bitters (Berg & Hauck)

Shake with ice, strain into a rocks glass with ice (coupe glass), and garnish with a lemon wheel (lemon twist).
Two Sundays ago, I returned to the online flashcards from the Paper Plane in Atlanta and found a Sour that caught my eye. That one was the Counterfeit Rifle for their April 2014 menu that looked like a Meletti-tinged Frisco Sour. Once shaken and strained, it donated a lemon, rye, and herbal bouquet to the nose. Next, lemon and caramel notes on the sip shot forth into rye and herbal flavors on the swallow with a violet floral finish.
