I was having a cocktail of cognac, apricot liqueur, and lemon juice, and thinking we could have a game. Make a drink using one of the ingredients in the previous drink. So to start - a drink with cognac, apricot liqueur, or lemon juice.
One more rule: don’t repeat the chosen ingredient - so Ruaidhrigh brought the lemon juice from the first drink into the amaretto sour - next drink can’t use lemon as the one ingredient brought forward.
Ok, I will use yours for this one. So from:
*_Is it cheating if I use a drink I mostly got from you and posted an earlier version of here? Lol So I’ll re-use the lemon juice. 2oz of Knob Creek Bourbon (or choose your favorite, I’m not the boss of you) 1oz of Drillaud’s raspberry liquor 1oz of lemon juice 1oz of Amaro Montenegro
Shake with ice and pour, then use a smoke with a Cocktail smoker (I’ve found apple wood chips works really well with this).
It’s makes for a great spring and early summer cocktail, refreshing and a bit sweet but not overly so._*
I take the Amaro Montenegro and make an adjusted Paper Plane riff:
2oz Evan Williams bottled-in-bond
1oz lime juice (since lemon is out of bounds)
1oz Amaro Montenegro
1/2 oz Aperol, 1/2 oz Campari.
Shake and pour into chilled coupe.
ETA: I made it! It’s delicious!
