gravesend

1 3/4 oz Whistlepig 10 Year Rye (Templeton)
1/2 oz Carpano Antica Sweet Vermouth (Cocchi)
1/2 oz Amaro Ciociaro
1/4 oz Amaro Lucano
1 dash Angostura Bitters
1 dash Chocolate Bitters (Bittermens)

Stir with ice, strain into a coupe glass, and garnish with a cherry.Two Tuesdays ago, I uncovered an online recipe flashcard set for the Dutch Kills' Fall 2024 menu, and I had to make the Gravesend that was attributed to Boston expat Jason Kilgore and owner Richard Boccato. Overall, it reminded me of a Liberal with Lucano and Ciociaro filling in for the Amer Picon and Angostura and chocolate for the orange bitters. With three Italian ingredients, perhaps the drink was named after the 2020 television series about Italian-American crime families. In the glass, the Gravesend proffered up cherry, rye, caramel, and orange aromas to the nose. Next, caramel and grape notes on the sip expanded into rye, caramel orange, and bitter herbal flavors on the swallow.
