the goodwill

1 1/2 oz Sagamore Rye (Old Overholt 86°)
1/2 oz Drambuie
1/2 oz Tempus Fugit Crème de Banane
3/4 oz Lemon Juice

Shake with ice, strain into a coupe glass, and garnish with an orange twist.Two Thursdays ago, I uncovered an online recipe flashcard collection from The Bygone in Baltimore. There, I was lured in by The Goodwill that appeared on the bar's Facebook page in March 2022. At first I recalled having Drambuie and banana liqueur in the Omertà Cocktail, but I later realized that I had this same combination of Drambuie, banana liqueur, and lemon with Canadian whisky instead of American rye in the Regency from the 1937 Café Royal Cocktail Book. In the glass, The Goodwill gave forth an orange, honey, caramel, and whiskey bouquet to the nose. Next, lemon, honey, and caramel notes on the sip shifted to rye, honey, Scotch, and caramelized banana flavors on the swallow.
