1 1/2 oz Diplomatico Exclusiva Rum (Coruba)
1 oz Cocchi Sweet Vermouth
1/2 oz Amaro Ciociaro
1/8 oz Borghetti Espresso Liqueur (Mr. Black)
4 dash Orange Bitters (Scrappy's)
Stir with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with an orange twist.
Two Wednesdays ago, I was looking through online recipe flashcards for Bourbon & Branch in San Francisco and decided upon the Chester Copperpot. I found a
Yelp review that mentioned this drink at the bar in 2015 but it could be older. Perhaps the name refers to a character in the 1985 movie
The Goonies, and the movie
Wikipedia describes how, "Chester Copperpot was a reclusive scavenger hunter from Astoria, Oregon, who went missing in the 1930s while looking for One-Eyed Willy's treasure. He was later found by the Goonies, crushed to death under a booby-trapped boulder." In the glass, the Chester Copperpot started the tasting adventure with an orange, caramel, and grape bouquet. Next, a grape and caramel sip led into dark rum and bitter coffee melding into bitter orange flavors on the swallow.
