7 seminole avenue

1 oz Laird's Apple Brandy (Laird's Bonded)
1 oz Appleton Signature Rum
1/2 oz Cardamaro
1/2 oz Luxardo Amaro Abano
1/8 oz Demerara Syrup
10 drop Mole Bitters (Bittermens)

Stir with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with an orange twist. Two Mondays ago, I returned to my notes from the online recipe flashcards from the Patterson House in Nashville and found the bitter, brown, and down number the 7 Seminole Avenue to fit the evening's calling. The recipe dated back to their Fall 2024 menu, and I was able to find an old menu online to confirm its placement and ingredients; however, I could not determine what that address corresponds to. Apple brandy and Cardamaro have paired up elegantly before in drinks like the Trenton and Euthanasia, and I have utilized the duo in recipes like the Wooden Shoe and Runaway Horses, so I was curious to try it here in this Old Fashioned meets Black Manhattan style drink. In the glass, this nightcap revealed orange, caramel, peppery, and root beer aromas to the nose. Next, grape and caramel notes on the sip opened up into rum, apple, herbal, and black pepper flavors on the swallow.
