dogstar

2 oz Brennivin (Linie Aquavit)
1/2 oz Punt e Mes
1/2 oz Amaro Nonino
1 bsp Maraschino (1/8 oz Luxardo)
1 dash Orange Bitters (Angostura Orange)

Stir with ice, strain into a coupe, and garnish with orange oil from a twist and with a cherry.Two Saturdays ago, I uncovered a set of online recipe flashcards for The Rose in Jackson, Wyoming, and selected the Dogstar from their Winter 2015-16 menu. On paper, it came across like an aquavit Angel of Tombstone or Brown Manhattan with a touch of Red Hook. Once mixed, the Dogstar guided the nose towards orange, cherry, caraway, and herbal aromas. Next, a grape and cherry sip flowed into caraway, bitter herbal, orange, and nutty cherry flavors on the swallow.
