Sea Eagle

A full-bodied, comforting Sour riff from Death & Co’s Javelle Taft with flavors reminiscent of cherry-vanilla Coke from the soda fountain 🍒🍨
The rye offers notes of vanilla and baking spice that works nicely with the cola/berry/dark chocolate notes in the Amaro. Additions of vanilla liqueur/syrup and a splash of maraschino liqueur help boost the cherry and vanilla flavors while the lemon juice and a splash of the dry/tannic sour apple liqueur help add acidity and a drying finish to balance the drink and complete the cherry/vanilla Coke flavors
1.5 oz Rye (Bottled in Bond options like Rittenhouse or New Riff have concentrated flavor and vanilla/baking spice notes that are great here)
.5 oz Averna, Amaro Brucato Woodlands, or Amaro Meletti (all have cola notes and mild bittersweet flavor that works well in the drink)
.75 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
.5 oz Vanilla Syrup or Liqueur (Giffard or Licor 43 for the latter)
3/4 Tsp Maraschino Liqueur (Luxardo)
3/4 Tsp Green/Sour Apple Liqueur (Leopold Brothers New York Sour Apple)
Shake with ice and strain into a chilled double rocks glass with a large ice cube. No garnish
