Fly Like Egyptian Musk

A rich, boozy Manhattan riff with notes of Bananas Foster 🥃🍌🥜 The bourbon and overproof brandy contribute notes of caramelized sugar, vanilla, and a touch of baking spice that act as a rock solid platform for the banana and toffee flavors from the liqueur and Solera-style sherry. A splash of cinnamon bark syrup and a few dashes of bitters boost the notes of baking spice and nuts while adding a subtle undertone of bitter coffee 1 oz Bourbon (Buffalo Trace, Elijah Craig, etc) 1 oz Overproof Brandy (Copper & Kings Butchertown has nice caramelized sugar and subtle fruit notes) .5 oz Banana Liqueur (Giffard or Tempus Fugit) .5 oz Lustau East India Sherry (a cream sherry would be a good sub) 1 Tsp Cinnamon Bark Syrup (crush 3-5 cinnamon sticks and toast until fragrant; add 1/2 C each granulated sugar and water and stir on medium-low heat until sugar has dissolved and mixture is near boil; turn heat down to low and simmer 5 minutes before straining) 1 dash El Guapo Chicory Pecan Bitters 1 dash Bitter Truth Jerry Thomas’s Own Decanter Bitters (notes of clove, nutmeg m, raisin) Stir with ice and strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a lemon twist (expressing essential oils over surface of drink first) #bringdaruckus
