#treatyoself

1 1/2 oz Scotch (Famous Grouse Smoky Black)
1/2 oz Cognac (Monnet VSOP)
1/4 oz Lustau Pedro Ximenez Sherry (El Maestro Sierra)
1/4 oz Amaro Meletti
1/8 oz Apricot Liqueur (Rothman & Winter)
1/2 oz Water

Build and give a quick stir. I built in a rocks glass instead of funneling into a flask.Two Wednesdays ago, I reached for Sarah Baird's Flask book and spotted the #Treatyoself by Cari Hai at Big Bar in Los Angeles in the wedding-themed section of the book. This room temperature cocktail came across with a smoke, orchard fruit, caramel, and floral aroma. Next, grape and caramel notes on the sip ended with smoky Scotch, Cognac, apricot, raisin, and floral flavors on the swallow.
