south of brooklyn

1 oz Rye Whiskey (Rittenhouse)
1 oz Blanc Vermouth (Dolin)
1/2 oz Caribbean 6-10 Year Blended Rum (Doorly's 12 Year)
1/2 oz Dry Vermouth (Dolin)
1/2 oz Amer Picon (Amaro Ciociaro)
1/4 oz Luxardo Maraschino
1 dash Peychaud's Bitters

Stir with ice, strain into a coupe glass, and garnish with orange oil from a twist and with a cherry.Two Fridays ago, Simon Difford posted one of his recent creations on Difford's Guide called the South of Brooklyn as his rum-touched Brooklyn riff noting that the Caribbean is south of Brooklyn. With the blanc vermouth, the recipe reminded me a little more of the White Collar from Dutch Kills than the classic itself. Once prepared, the South of Brooklyn donated an orange and cherry bouquet to the nose. Next, a semi-sweet caramel, grape, and cherry sip traveled towards rye, rum, nutty cherry, and dark orange flavors on the swallow.
