1 1/2 oz Old Grand-Dad Bonded Bourbon (Evan Williams Bonded)
1 oz Bonal Gentiane-Quina
1/2 oz Green Chartreuse
1/2 oz Yellow Chartreuse
2 dash Orange Bitters (Angostura Orange)

Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with an orange twist.Two Fridays ago, I decided to make a recipe that I had spotted in the Eventide cookbook called the Kentucky Cyclist. The recipe was created by John Myer at Eventide in Portland, Maine, and named after how Bonal was one of the early sponsors of the Tour de France. Overall, the recipe reminded me of the Disco Ball with the split of Green and Yellow Chartreuse, spirit, aromatized wine, and bitters, but it ended up tasting closer to the American whiskey Bijou dubbed the Family Jewels. Once prepared, the Kentucky Cyclist rode to the nose with orange oil and herbaceous aromas from the Green Chartreuse. Next, a grape-driven sip pedaled to Bourbon, herbaceous, honey, and herbal flavors on the swallow.
