dad bod

1 oz Pig's Nose Scotch (Cutty Sark Prohibition)
3/4 oz Angostura Bitters
3/4 oz Lemon Juice
1/2 oz Cherry Heering
1/4 oz Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao
1/4 oz Orgeat

Shake with ice, strain into a coupe glass, and garnish with an orange twist.
Two Fridays ago, I decided to make the Dad Bod that I found in a set of online recipe flashcards from The Violet Hour's Spring/Summer 2023 menu. I decided to finally make it for it has the heavy Angostura Bitters, Cherry Heering, and lemon juice that I first tried in the Death or Glory that I recently republished in my The Clash cocktail biopic and just utilized in my Blood & Sand riff called the Rogue's Romance. Once shaken and strained, the Dad Bod gave forth an orange, allspice, and clove aroma. Next, creamy lemon and molasses notes on the sip stepped aside for Scotch, cherry, orange, clove, and allspice flavors on the swallow.
