walk with elias

1 1/2 oz Reposado Tequila (Espolon)
1 oz Oloroso Sherry (Lustau)
1/2 oz Amaretto (Luxardo)
1/4 oz Allspice Dram (Hamilton's)

Stir with ice, strain into a Nick & Nora, and garnish with a lemon twist.Two Thursdays ago, I ventured back to the 2020 Community Cocktails book and landed on the Walk with Elias by Jesse Cyr at Foreign National in Seattle that reminded me of an añejo tequila and Frangelico drink I had at the Casa Noble distillery in 2019. The drink was perhaps named an album by WWE professional wrestler Jeffrey Sciullo (known as Elias in the ring) released in 2018. In the glass, the Walk with Elias sauntered up to the nose with a lemon, almond, allspice, and floral aroma. Next, a grape-driven sip led into agave, nutty, and allspice flavors on the swallow.
