turbo charged prelude

1 1/2 oz Rye Whiskey (Old Overholt 86°)
1/2 oz Cocchi Sweet Vermouth
1/2 oz Cynar
1/4 oz Passion Fruit Syrup
1/4 oz Simple Syrup
3/4 oz Lemon Juice
2 dash Angostura Bitters

Shake with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with ice, and garnish with an orange twist.
Two Saturdays prior, I went back to the online recipe flashcards for the Franklin Mortgage & Investment Co. in Philadelphia and selected the Turbo Charged Prelude from their Fall 2018 menu. The recipe reminded me of a Little Italy with a touch of Hurricane in the mix, and I was game since Cynar and passion fruit have worked wonderfully in recipes like the Turnbuckle and the To the Moon Alice. Once prepared, this tribute to the Fast & Furious movie series began with an orange and passion fruit bouquet. Next, lemon, passion fruit, and caramel notes on the sip raced to rye, bitter herbal, grape, and clove flavors on the swallow.
