2 oz Woodford Bourbon (Old Grand-Dad Bonded)
1/2 oz Amaro Lucano
1/4 oz Amaro Meletti
1/4 oz Honey Syrup
1 dash Fee's Orange Bitters (Angostura Orange)
1 dash Peychaud's Bitters

Stir with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with an orange twist.Two Fridays ago, I found an online recipe flashcard set from Sidecar in Jacksonville, Florida, and I was drawn in by the Oliver Lewis. The drink was crafted by bartender Robert Freeman and was named after the winner of the very first Kentucky Derby back in 1875. I was able to glean the backstory from an Instagram post along with a mention of it dating back on the bar's Facebook to 2018. Overall, the combination reminded me of The Rutherford with Nardini and Benedictine instead of the Oliver Lewis' Lucano and honey, so I was curious to try it out. Once built, the Oliver Lewis raced to the nose with orange, caramel, and floral aromas. Next, caramel and honey notes galloped to Bourbon, violet, herbal, and orange flavors on the swallow.
