a good man is hard to find

1 oz Martell VS Cognac (Du Peyrat Selection)
1/2 oz Wray & Nephew Overproof White Rum
1/2 oz Zucca (Amaro Sfumato)
1 oz Cocchi Americano
2 dash Mole Bitters (Bittermens)

Stir with ice, strain into a coupe glass, and garnish with a cherry.
Two Thursdays ago, I uncovered a collection of recipes for the Dram Bar in Brooklyn's Winter 2020 menu posted on an online flashcard site by a bartender there trying to learn the new drinks. The A Good Man is Hard to Find as a quirky Cognac-funky rum stirred bitter drink certainly caught my eye, and it reminded me a little of the Bark & Bite. Once prepared, the A Good Man is Hard to Find proffered an earthy, roast, and rum funk bouquet to the nose. Next, a roast and orchard fruit sip uncovered Cognac's richness, earthy bitter melding into funky rum, and chocolate flavors on the swallow.
