- 2oz pinot noir
- 1oz bourbon (buffalo trace)
- 1/2oz luxardo maraschino liqueur
- 2 dashes angostura bitters
- orange wedge
I came up with four of these ingredients, and then Claire came to my rescue with the bitters. I liked the fruity, spicy flavor of this drink. The bourbon rounds off the drink with caramel notes that I think work nicely against the wine. This is kind of like a twist on a Manhatten, I guess, but with a different ratio and a very different flavor profile.
In the future, I might use a spicier wine - maybe Syrah? But it deserves experimentation.
