Ember Crown

AI-generatedMediumRocks

Bourbon and brandy build a slow, crackling bonfire that yellow chartreuse and amaretto crown with alpine honey and marzipan.


Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 oz Bourbon
  • 3/4 oz Brandy
  • 1/2 oz Yellow Chartreuse
  • 1/2 oz Amaretto

Method

  1. 11. Place one large ice cube into a rocks glass and set aside.
  2. 22. Combine bourbon, brandy, yellow chartreuse, and amaretto in a mixing glass filled with ice.
  3. 33. Stir for a full 40 seconds — this spirit-forward drink needs proper dilution.
  4. 44. Strain over the large ice cube in the prepared rocks glass.
  5. 55. Hold an orange peel skin-side down over the glass, give it a sharp twist to express the oils, then run the peel around the rim before placing it on the ice.
  6. 66. Serve immediately without further stirring.

PRO TIP

Use a wheated bourbon like Maker's Mark here — its softer grain profile harmonizes with the brandy rather than competing with it for center stage.

Garnish — orange peel twist on the ice
