wonderboy

2 oz Cognac (Courvoisier VS)
1/2 oz Pedro Ximenez Sherry (Lustau)
1/2 oz Amaro Sfumato

Stir with ice, strain into a double old fashioned glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with a lemon twist. Two Sundays ago, I returned to the online recipe flashcards for Attaboy and spied the Wonderboy. I have tried other drinks with the Sfumato-Pedro Ximenez sherry motif such as the Violet Touch with rye and Besitos de Abuelita with agave, and I utilized it in my Slowly Goes the Night with a rye and mezcal mix. I was drawn in for it seemed especially elegant with a Cognac base. In the glass, the Wonderboy lept to the nose with a lemon, raisin, char, and smoke aroma. Next, deep grape and roast notes on the sip were confronted by rich Cognac, smoky bitter herbal, and raisin flavors on the swallow.
