bae of biscay

1 oz Arette Reposado Tequila (Cimarron)
1 oz Fino Sherry (Tio Pepe)
1/2 oz Salers Gentian Liqueur (Suze)
1/4 oz Amaro Ramazzotti
1/8 oz Pedro Ximenez Sherry (El Maestro Sierra)
1/8 oz Sirop (Sirop JM)
2 dash Tonka Bitters (my Abbott's Bitters that include Tonka)

Stir with ice, strain into a coupe, and garnish with a lemon twist.
Two Thursdays ago, I uncovered a small set of online recipe flashcards for Billy Sunday in Chicago, and I opted for the Bae of Biscay that I found posted on their Instagram in July 2021. This tequila drink was named after popular culture and the bay between northern Spain and France and contains a pair of sherries and a gentian liqueur to perhaps mirror that. In the glass, the Bae of Biscay began with a lemon and vegetal aroma. Next, a slightly crisp sip showcased raisin and caramel notes and was chased by tequila, gentian, herbal, and root beer flavors on the swallow.
