I returned to the online recipe flashcards for the Dead Rabbit and landed on the Preacher Man by Jesse Vida. An online copy of their 2015 menu described how this was a tribute to preacher Lewis Pease who worked the slums of the Five Points neighborhood of Manhattan during the mid-19th century. Besides the curious name, I was drawn in for the cacao-Ciociaro combination reminded me of the
African Flower from Little Branch. I later got a copy of
Paddy Drinks: The World of Modern Irish Whiskey Cocktails which described how "Jesse took the template for the
Rosita, Perfect Manhattan, Greenpoint, or Carroll Gardens and plugged in a classic pot still Irish whiskey." In the glass, the Preacher Man welcomed the nose with orange, herbal, vegetal, and grape aromas. Next, grape and caramel notes on the sip praised the coming of whiskey, tequila, caramel-orange, herbal, chocolate, and anise flavors on the swallow.
