Description: A tribute to the Southern sophistication and introspective depth of Thomas Wolfe, the Asheville Echo captures the essence of his prose with a complex tapestry of flavors. This cocktail combines rye whiskey's rich boldness with the earthy and floral nuances of infused lavender, punctuated by a hint of citrus and smoke. A drink that echoes Wolfe's literary brilliance, it invites contemplation and lingers, much like his words. Ingredients: - 2 oz Rye Whiskey - 0.5 oz Lavender Honey Syrup (infused using a sous-vide technique) - 0.5 oz Fresh Lemon Juice - 0.25 oz Amaro Montenegro - 1 dash of Angostura Bitters - Smoked Maple Wood Chip (for smoking) - Lavender Sprig (for garnish) Advanced Technique: For the Lavender Honey Syrup, combine 1 cup honey, 1 cup water, and 1 tablespoon dried lavender flowers in a vacuum-sealable bag. Seal and sous-vide at 135°F (57°C) for 1 hour. Strain and chill before use. Method: 1. Smoke the inside of a chilled coupe glass with the maple wood chips using a smoking gun and set aside. 2. In a shaker, combine the rye whiskey, lavender honey syrup, lemon juice, Amaro Montenegro, and bitters. Fill with ice and shake vigorously. 3. Strain the mixture into the smoked coupe glass. 4. Garnish with a sprig of lavender. Glassware: Coupe Glass This cocktail invites contemplation, offering layers of flavor in each sip, much like the depth of Wolfe’s literary works.
