Created by Hemant Pathak, mixologist and bar manager of Junoon in New York City, this drink mixes multiple liquors to optimal effect.“The intense spice notes from the straight rye pair well with the slightly peaty scotch, and the amaro helps to soften the whole flavor, extending the length of the cocktail with herbal notes,” Pathak says. An expressed orange peel brightens and balances it all out.
