allie elizabeth sleeping

1 oz Lustau Pedro Ximenez Sherry (El Maestro Sierra)
3/4 oz Dolin Dry Vermouth (Noilly Prat)
1/2 oz Smith & Cross Rum
1/2 oz Del Maguey Mezcal Vida (Peloton de la Muerte)
3 dash Regan's Orange Bitters

Stir with ice and strain into a coupe glass.
Two Saturdays ago, I returned to KindredCocktails to make a recipe that I had spotted earlier called the Allie Elizabeth Sleeping. The drink created by Sean Muller at Dram in Brooklyn won the September 2013 New York Ciry-regional sherry-themed flash competition on ShakeStir. The combination reminded me a little of the Haitian Divorce with funky Smith & Cross in place of the Barbancourt and with dry vermouth in the mix. Once prepared, the Allie Elizabeth Sleeping awoke with a tropical funk, smoke, and dried fruit bouquet. Next, plum and raisin notes on the sip turned over to funky rum, vegetal, smoke, dark cherry, and raisin flavors on the swallow.
