Original Cocktail: Night Night Juice
These days, this combo is my after dinner drink of choice. It's nice with a little twist of orange or lemon, but it's just as perfect without one. It's also a nice companion drink for a cigar, and I've found that Drew Estate Java cigars, infused with coffee, are a delightfully sweet pairing. I'm not usually a fan of flavored cigars, but the Java has been a pleasant surprise, light bodied and a little sweet, without destroying or overwhelming my palate.
Night Night Juice
1 oz Amaro (such as Cynar or Amaro Dell'Etna)
1 oz Bourbon or Rye whiskey
Pour an ounce of each in a tumbler, add a large ice cube, give it a stir, prepare to digest.
Feel free to use your favorite amaro, though I tend to lean toward choosing one with darker notes of caramel and burnt sugars. Meletti, Bordiga Chiot, Santa Maria al Monte, and Bonollo amaro are all great options.
