blank shooter

2 oz Rye Whiskey (Old Overholt 86°)
3/4 oz Lemon Juice
3/8 oz Honey Syrup
3/8 oz Cinnamon Syrup
1/4 oz Fernet Branca
2 dash Peach Bitters (Fee's)

Shake with ice, strain into a coupe, and garnish with a lemon twist (orange twist).
Two Wednesdays ago, I returned to the online recipe flashcard set from Lion's Share in San Diego and opted for the Blank Shooter as a Gold Rush with cinnamon-Fernet flavors accents. I was able to find the drink listed on a Yelp menu photo from 2014 but could not find much more information about it. In the glass, the Blank Shooter proffered an orange, cinnamon, honey, and herbal bouquet. Next, lemon and honey notes on the sip flowed into rye, gentian, cinnamon, and menthol flavors on the swallow with a lemon-peach finish.
