black & red lumberjack

1 1/2 oz Russell's Reserve Rye (Old Overholt 86°)
3/4 oz Campari
1/2 oz Amaro Braulio
1/2 oz St. George NOLA Coffee Liqueur (Mr. Black)
1/4 oz Giffard Pamplemousse (St.Elder)

No instructions were provided so I stirred and strained into an old fashioned glass with a large ice cube. A grapefruit twist would not be out of place here.
Two Mondays ago, my searching uncovered a set of online recipe flashcards for Pammy's in Cambridge, and the Red & Black Lumberjack from the 2018 menu called out to me as coffee Boulevardier of sorts. In the glass, the Red & Black Lumberjack opened up with a caramel, coffee, herbal, and pine bouquet. Next, caramel and roast notes on the sip chopped into rye, bitter orange and coffee, and pine flavors on the swallow.
