five points

1 1/2 oz Applejack (Laird's Bonded)
1/2 oz Apry (Rothman & Winter Orchard Apricot Liqueur)
1/2 oz Amaro Ramazzotti
1/4 oz Dry Vermouth (Noilly Prat)
2 dash Angostura Bitters

Stir with ice, strain into a coupe, and garnish with an orange twist and cherry.
Two Thursdays ago, I ventured back to the Raines Law Room online recipe flashcards and found the Five Points that was different from the other Five Points on here that was created at Death & Co. This tribute to the legendary 19th century Lower Manhattan neighborhood was instead crafted by Jeremy Thompson and featured Ramazzotti that he utilized well in his Ragtime but paired here with apricot liqueur akin to Eric Alperin's Skid Row instead of Aperol. In the glass, the Five Points presented an orange, apple, and apricot nose. Next, caramel and orchard fruit on the sip progressed into apple, root beer herbal, apricot, and allspice flavors on the swallow.
