1 1/2 oz Tullamore Dew Caribbean Rum Cask Whiskey (Teeling Small Batch (*))
1 oz Cocchi Sweet Vermouth
1/4 oz Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao
1/4 oz Giffard Crème de Banane (Tempus Fugit)
1 dash Angostura Bitters
1 dash Bittermens Mole Bitters
Stir with ice and strain into a Nick & Nora (coupe) glass.
(*) Teeling Small Batch is finished in rum casks.
Two Thursdays prior, I reached for my copy of
Paddy Drinks: The World of Modern Irish Whiskey Cocktails and selected the Sunny-Side Up by Jillian Vose at the The Dead Rabbit in Manhattan. The rum element (albeit a finish), sweet vermouth, curaçao, and Angostura reminded me of the
Presidente, so I wanted to see how it would play out with a whiskey base, banana liqueur, and chocolate bitters in the mix. In the glass, the Sunny-Side Up gave forth a caramel, orange, and banana bouquet. Next, a grape and caramel sip turned over into whiskey, caramelized fruit, chocolate, and clove flavors on the swallow.
