goat rodeo

1 1/2 oz Rittenhouse Rye
3/4 oz Carpano Antica Sweet Vermouth (Cocchi)
3/4 oz Amaro Nonino
1 dash Demerara Syrup (1/8 oz)
2 dash Spiced Cherry Bitters (King Floyd's Cherry-Cacao)

Stir with ice, strain into a coupe, and garnish with a cherry.
Two Fridays ago, I made a recipe that I had recently spotted on Reddit cocktails forum called the Goat Rodeo. The drink appears on the current menu of the Black Rabbit in Nashville and user SolomonGorillaJr was cited as the source. A goat rodeo is a slang term for when something disasterous and unbelievable is occurring and one holds back and watches the train wreck occur; it is also the name of a bluegrass-classical fusion album featuring Yo-Yo Ma. In the glass, the Goat Rodeo corralled a cherry and grape bouquet for the nose. Next, grape and caramel notes on the sip stampeded towards rye, herbal, orange, and chocolate-cherry flavors on the swallow.

I made this tonight and found it to be a lovely thing. I didn’t have cherry butters but had plum so I split the plum with peycheauds. This is now in my rotation.

Thanks Frederi!
