boss lady

1 1/4 oz Old Grand-Dad 114° Bourbon (1 1/2 oz Old Grand-Dad Bonded)
3/4 oz Pierre Ferrand Ambre Cognac (Courvoisier VS)
1 tsp Coffee Liqueur (Kahlua)
1 tsp Pedro Ximenez Sherry (El Maestro Sierra)
1 tsp Demerara Syrup
1 dash Aphrodite Bitters (Bittercube Corazon)

Stir with ice and strain into an old fashioned glass with a large ice cube.
While perusing the KindredCocktails database, I spotted an interesting split-base Old Fashioned called the Boss Lady by Colin O'Neill at the Franklin Mortgage & Investment Co. circa 2013. The recipe ended up there after New York City bartender Rafa Garcia Febles acquired the details through a Facebook exchange with the creator. Unlike the Boss which is a Bourbon riff on the amaretto-laden Godfather, this one was sweetened by coffee liqueur and Pedro Ximenez sherry. In the glass, the Boss Lady commanded a raisin and roast bouquet. Next, a dark grape sip led into Bourbon, Cognac, coffee, dried fruit, chocolate, and pepper spice flavors on the swallow.
