threepenny opera

1 1/2 oz Pierre Ferrand Ambre Cognac (Du Peyrat Selection)
1 oz Sweet Vermouth (Cocchi)
1/4 oz Cynar
1 dash Orange Bitters (Regan's)

Stir with ice, strain into a rocks glass with ice, and garnish with an orange twist.
Two Sundays ago, I ventured back to the Raines Law Room online recipe flashcard sets and spotted the Threepenny Opera that read like a Cognac Little Italy with shades of Ce Soir. The drink was attributed to Rachel Kim, and a Yelp review put this menu item around 2014. In the glass, the Threepenny Opera stepped to the senses with an orange and grape bouquet. Next, grape and caramel notes mingled on the sip, and the swallow wrapped things up with Cognac melding into vegetal herbal flavors.
