beauty sleep

1 1/2 oz Bourbon (Evan Williams Bonded)
3/4 oz Cocchi Americano
1/2 oz Amaro Nonino
1/2 tsp Amaro Nardini

Stir with ice and strain into an old fashioned glass with a big ice cube.Two Mondays ago, I began searching the Kindred Cocktails database for a recipe. There, I spied the Beauty Sleep crafted by New York City bartender Rafa Garcia Febles in 2014 that reminded me of The Brigantine with its American whiskey, Cocchi Americano, and Amaro Nonino structure. However, the Beauty Sleep called for Bourbon instead of rye, and a splash of Amaro Nardini instead of Peychaud's. In the glass, the Beauty Sleep ventured forward with caramel, orange, and a hint of mint to the nose. Next, caramel and orchard fruit on the sip tossed and turned into Bourbon, caramel, root beer, and a hint of almost licorice flavor on the swallow.
