Stir with ice, strain into a snifter (old fashioned) glass, and garnish with an orange twist.Two Mondays ago, I began perusing online flashcards from the Dram Shop bar in Brooklyn as part of their Covid menu. The Hark! as a split whisky-based Old Fashioned of sorts sweetened by Ramazzotti and Benedictine seemed delightful especially with how well Scotch played with Ramazzotti and Benedictine in the Black Scottish Cyclops and Highlander, respectively. In the glass, the Hark! showcased an orange, caramel, and root beer bouquet. Next, a caramel-driven sip announced a rye spice, Scotch, sarsaparilla, and savory swallow with a briny finish.
