space dog

1 3/4 oz Four Roses Bourbon (Evan Williams Bonded)
1/4 oz Amaro Sfumato
1 oz Grapefruit Juice
1/2 oz Lemon Juice
1/2 oz Orgeat

Shake with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg. Two Mondays ago, I returned to the online recipe flashcards for Good Company in St. Louis and found the Space Dog as a complex Bourbon Sour for their Fall 2024 menu. I soon found a video from October 2024 of bar manager Diego Gonzalez making the drink on the bar's Instagram which confirmed the recipe. While I have never tried the Sfumato and orgeat pairing, I have tried it with another rabarbaro, namely Zucca, in Hungry Mother's Smoky with good effect. In the glass, the Space Dog came through with a woody spice, almond, and herbal roast aroma. Next, a creamy roast and grapefruit sip landed on Bourbon, smoky bitter herbal, and nutty flavors on the swallow.
