dk old fashioned

2 oz Old Forester 100° Bourbon (Evan Williams Bonded)
3/8 oz Giffard Banana Liqueur (Tempus Fugit Crème de Banane)
3/8 oz Amaro Meletti
1 dash Chocolate Bitters (Bittermens)

Stir with ice and strain into an old fashioned glass with a large ice cube. I garnished with an orange twist (recipe lacked garnishing instructions).Two Saturdays ago, I found a set of online recipe flashcards for Erick Castro's new spot in San Diego, Gilly's House of Cocktails. Erick and his team revamped an old dive bar and gave new life to its drink program while keeping things accessible and in tune with the bar's old aesthetic. The recipe that I stared with was the DK Old Fashioned that reminded me of Brick & Mortar's Kon'Nichiwa given the whiskey, banane, and Amaro Meletti. Once prepared, the DK Old Fashioned stepped forward with an orange, caramel, and banana aroma. Next, the caramel continued on into the sip, and the swallow rounded things up with a medley of Bourbon, caramel, floral, banana, and herbal flavors.
