sharpen your teeth

2 oz Jim Beam Rye Whiskey
3/4 oz Cynar
1/2 oz Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao
1/4 oz Green Chartreuse
1 1/2 dash Orange Bitters (2 dash Angostura Orange)

Stir with ice, strain into a double old fashioned glass with 4 Kold Draft cubes (1 large cube), and garnish with a lemon twist.Continuing on with my successed with online recipe flashcard sets, I found a gem in one from The Rose in Jackson, Wyoming. The Sharpen Your Teeth on their Winter 2015-16 menu reminded me of my Continuum that I created at Our Fathers that utilized gin and sweet vermouth instead of rye and orange bitters. Moreover, the call for Jim Beam Rye reminded me that I had a few ounces of a rather old bottle that needed to be finished; I estimate that we bought that bottle around 2007 back before rye options exploded and pushed Beam's namesake rye off the shelves in favor of Beam's other whiskeys like Old Overholt and those from other brands. In the glass, the Sharpen Your Teeth sunk in with lemon, orange, and herbal aromas. Next, caramel and orange notes on the sip unfurled into rye, herbal, herbaceous, and orange flavors on the swallow.
