panorama

1 1/2 oz Jamaican Rum (3/4 oz Coruba + 3/4 oz Smith & Cross)
3/4 oz Mezcal (Peloton de la Muerte)
1/2 oz Averna
1/4 oz Maple Syrup
2 dash Chocolate Bitters (Bittermens)

Stir with ice, strain into a double old fashioned glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with an orange twist.Two Saturdays ago, I returned to the online recipe collection from Idlewild, a menu-less cocktail bar in Charlotte, North Carolina, and honed in on the Panorama. While the name reminded me of Trader Vic's Panorama Punch, it was the Averna-maple duo that made me recall the magic of Dutch Kills' Debbie, Don't. In the glass, the Panorama opened up with an orange, caramel, rum funk, and smoke nose. Next, caramel and maple swirled on the sip, and the swallow rounded things off with funky rum, maple, caramel, and vegetal flavors on the swallow with smoke and chocolate notes on the finish.
