sapokanikan

1 oz Old Overholt Bonded Rye Whiskey (1 1/4 oz Old Overholt 86° Proof)
1/2 oz Apple Brandy (Laird's Bonded)
1/4 oz Yellow Chartreuse
1/4 oz Benedictine
4 dash Peychaud's Bitters
1 dash Cardamom Bitters (The Bitter Housewife)

Stir with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with a lemon twist.Two Saturdays ago, I was perusing an online flashcard set from the Dram Shop bar in Brooklyn for their Winter 2020 menu that was entered by a bartender working there to learn the new drinks. I was soon lured in by the Sapokanikan that read a little like the Wicked Kiss; they named the drink after the colony of New Netherland around where Greenwich Village in Manhattan is today that lasted until British rule. In the glass, the Sapokanikan proffered a lemon, honey, and apple bouquet to the nose. Next, a hint of caramel on the sip gave way to rye, apple, herbal, anise, and cardamom flavors on the swallow.
