thunderbolt

1 1/2 oz Powers John's Lane Irish Whiskey (Teeling Small Batch)
1/2 oz Giffard Crème de Banane (Tempus Fugit)
1/2 oz Domaine de Canton Ginger Liqueur (Barrow's Intense)
1/4 oz St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram (Hamilton's)
2 dash Angostura Bitters
2 dash Bittermens Mole Bitters

Stir with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with orange oil from a twist.Two Fridays ago, my copy of Paddy Drinks: The World of Modern Irish Whiskey Cocktails arrived, and I opened it up to find my evening's libation. There, the first recipe I spotted was the Thunderbolt by Jack McGarry at the Dead Rabbit that reminded me of a fruitcake with the baked fruit notes and winter spices. In the glass, the Thunderbolt launched off with orange, caramelized fruit, and allspice aromas. Next, a caramel-driven sip flowed into whiskey, banana, allspice, and ginger flavors on the swallow.
