Celebrating my birthday by sharing with you all the first cocktail that I’ve ever put on a Death & Co menu! Enjoy.

Obligation of Nobility

• 1.75 oz Knob Creek Bourbon
• 0.25 oz Bowmore 12yr Scotch
• 0.5 oz Don Ciccio & Figli Mandarinetto
• 1 tsp H & H Doce 5yr Maderia
• 1 tsp Demerara Syrup
• 2 dash Angostura bitters

Add ingredients to a chilled mixing glass. Add plenty of quality ice and stir, checking for temperature/dilution as you go. Strain into a chilled single old fashioned glass over a large cube, garnish with an expertly expressed orange twist.

This is a cute, fun, non-pretentious Old Fashioned riff that is a delight in the summer and approachable to those who may not be familiar with drinks in the category. Cheers!
