exile on main st

1 oz Pierre Ferrand 1840 Cognac
1/2 oz El Dorado 3 Year Rum (Privateer Silver)
1/2 oz Scarlet Ibis Rum (Guardians Trinidad)
1 oz Cardamaro
1/4 oz Benedictine
1 dash Angostura Bitters
1 dash Peychaud's Bitters

Stir with ice, strain into a Nick & Nora glass, and garnish with a lemon twist.Two Wednesdays ago, I returned to the Pouring Ribbons flashcard set and selected the Exile on Main St from their Fall 2014 menu. The Cardamaro-Benedictine duo in this Vieux Carré riff reminded me of Joaquin Simo's Midnight Mass at Death & Co. before he went on to open Pouring Ribbons a few years later in September of 2012. The drink named after a Rolling Stones album began with a lemon, caramel, and rum bouquet. Next, grape and caramel on the sip departed to Cognac, rum, and herbal flavors on the swallow.
