phish hook

1 3/4 oz Rye Whiskey (Rittenhouse)
1/2 oz St. Germain (St. Elder)
1/2 oz Punt e Mes
1/4 oz Luxardo Maraschino

Stir with ice and strain into a coupe glass.Two Wednesdays ago, I spotted a slight variation of Jamie Boudreau's Phish Hook on Difford's Guide, and I hunted out the original. Jamie had posted the original recipe for this floral Red Hook riff that he created at Canon in Seattle on a St. Germain cocktails blog in 2010. Overall, the combination had the vibe of the Fleur Carré so I was intrigued. In the glass, the Phish Hook jammed out to the nose with rye, nutty cherry, and floral aromas. Next, grape and cherry notes on the sip danced towards rye, floral, and bitter red fruit flavors on the swallow.
