honest abe

1 oz Rittenhouse Rye Whiskey
1 oz Applejack (Laird's Bonded)
3/4 oz Cynar
2 dash Orange Bitters (Angostura Orange)

Stir with ice, strain into a single old fashioned glass, and garnish with orange oil from a twist.Two Sundays ago, I returned to an online recipe flashcard set from Providence's Cook & Brown Public House and decided on the Honest Abe from their Fall 2012 menu. This Black Manhattan of sorts made me think of Tonia Guffey's C.I.A. mashed up with my F.L.A.N.. Once mixed, the Honest Abe announced an orange, apple, and caramel-herbal bouquet. Next, the caramel continued on into the sip where it relinquished into rye, apple, and herbal flavors on the swallow with an orange finish.
