williamsburg

1 1/2 oz Old Forester Bourbon (Evan Williams Bonded)
3/4 oz Amaro Ramazzotti
1/2 oz Cocchi Americano
1/4 oz Luxardo Maraschino
Stir with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with a lemon twist.
Two Fridays ago, I began perusing the KindredCocktails database, and I came across the Williamsburg created in 2015 by user OldFashionedWhiskey who self-describes as Ray, a cocktail enthusiast from Philadelphia. Overall, it had the Ramazzotti-Maraschino combination of the Brooklyn Bridge and Front Street combined with the Ramazzotti-Cocchi Americano duo of the There is No Spoon, so I was curious to give it a try. In the glass, the Williamsburg donated a lemon, root beer, and nutty cherry aroma to the nose. Next, caramel and pear notes on the sip welcomed Bourbon, root beer, and nutty cherry flavors on the swallow.
