An Orange Among the Pines
Sours are a perennial favorite, but there’s something extra special about them during the winter. This version of an amaro sour gives the drinker a choice between alternating sips of the sour and a shot of amaro, or pouring the amaro on top and drinking the two elements together. I channeled Emily Dickinson for the title.
INGREDIENTS
1½ oz rye whiskey
1 oz. citrus cordial
½ oz. aged gin
½ oz. acid-adjusted orange juice
1 oz. Braulio or Cynar, to serve on the side
