stellina

1 1/2 oz Bourbon (Evan Williams Bonded)
1/2 oz Tempus Fugit Crème de Banane
1/2 oz Amaro Braulio
3 dash Hellfire Bitters (My Own)
Shake (stir) and strain into a double old fashioned glass with an ice sphere (large ice cube).Two Saturdays prior, I uncovered an online recipe flashcard collection for the Venetian in Las Vegas. There, I spotted the Stellina as a fruity-bitter Bourbon drink that I was able to find on the current menu at Bar Luca at the Venetian using Old Forester Bourbon. In the glass, the Stellina opened up with Bourbon, caramel, and pine aromas. Next, the caramel notes continued on into the sip followed by whiskey, banana, and bitter piny flavors on the swallow with a red pepper spice on the finish.
