About The Cocktail
The Demons We Dine On
I knew I wanted a base of Stranahan’s Blue Peak due to its rich flavor profile that isn’t overwhelming. I thought it would age well but also pair nicely with a soft floral gin. I love adding an amaro to cocktails for some depth and a touch of sweetness, so I chose Averna. Finally, I added some coffee beans to the barrel to compliment the notes of coffee in Averna, but also just because I thought it would be fun to see what happened!
- 1.5 oz Stranahan’s Blue Peak
- .75 oz Spring 44 gin
- .5 oz Averna
- .25 oz Amaro Nonino
- 2 dashes Orange Bitters
