strange fires

1 1/2 oz Bourbon (Evan Williams Bonded)
3/4 oz Amaro Meletti
3/4 oz Lemon Juice
1/2 oz Orange Juice
1/2 oz Orgeat

Shake with ice, strain into a double old fashioned glass, and garnish with crushed ice.
Two Mondays ago, I uncovered a recipe for the Strange Fires created at Dram Bar in Brooklyn via online flashcards, and one of my Instagram friends who created the Lucky Bird and Worthy Adversary aptly described it as, "It's like an amaro-fortified Eastern Sour. I can dig that." Once prepared, the Strange Fires greeted the nose with an almond aroma. Next, a creamy caramel and orange sip led into Bourbon, herbal, and almond flavors on the swallow with a lemon and floral finish.
