monkey wrench

2 oz Compass Box Artists Blend Scotch (Famous Grouse Smoky Black)
3/4 oz Giffard Banana Liqueur (Tempus Fugit)
2 dash (1/4 oz) Fernet Branca

Stir with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass, and garnish with a lemon twist. The drawing of the drink on the menu posted on the bar's Instagram confirms that it is not served on the rocks.Two Fridays ago, I uncovered an online recipe flashcard set for The Old Pal in Athens, George. In the section of Winter 2024 drinks, the Monkey Wench called out to me, and it read like a Scotch version of the Away Colors given the Fernet and banana liqueur. I was able to find on their Instagram that the drink appeared the year prior as well via a December 2022 post showcasing their menu launch. Once mixed, the Monkey Wrench loosed up with a lemon, caramel, and menthol aroma. Next, malt and caramel on the sip spun into Scotch, smoke, and tropical bitter flavors on the swallow with a minty, smoke, and banana finish.
