philadelphia story

1 1/2 oz Peat Monster Scotch (1 oz Famous Grouse + 1/2 oz Laphroaig 10 Year)
3/4 oz Averna
1/2 oz St. Germain (St. Elder)
2 dash Angostura Bitters
1 dash Grapefruit Bitters (Bittermens)

Stir with ice, strain into a coupe, and garnish with a grapefruit twist.Two Mondays ago, I returned to the Raines Law Room recipe flashcard sets and landed upon the Philadelphia Story created by Chase Mallen and perhaps named after the 1940 Katharine Hepburn movie. Yelp reviews dating back to 2010 mention it, and the combination was very reminiscent of an agave cocktail called the Midnight Bouquet at Raines Law and attributed by PunchDrinks to Meaghan Dorman. Once prepared, the Philadelphia Story showcased a grapefruit, peat smoke, and floral bouquet to the nose. Next, caramel and malt notes on the sip fell aside to smoky Scotch, dark herbal-grapefruit, and floral flavors on the swallow with an allspice and peat smoke finish.
