So I have been playing with this simple cocktail. I love China China and Spirit forward drinks.

1 1/2 oz Buffalo Trace (I started with rye whiskey but thought it overpowered the cognac, played with different bourbons and landed on Buffalo Trace. Not typically a big fan of Buffalo trace but found that its lack of dominate flavors complemented the drink.)

3/4 oz PF 1840

3/4 oz Bigalett China China

2 dashes Regans Orange Bitters

1 Dash Angostura

Garnish with flamed orange twist

Stir and serve up in a coupe or Nick and Nora

Any suggestions to improve the cocktail are welcome.

I am also looking for a name that captures the French American connection.
