Instructions

Description: The Whisper of the Woods cocktail is a harmony of a well-balanced bourbon base, enriched by the complex bitterness of an amaro, gracefully infused with a subtle yet enlivening spice. It's a drink that evokes the sense of a serene walk through a forest at dusk, with earthy notes that ground you and a hint of spice that awakens the senses. It's perfect for sipping slowly as you unwind and let the world fade away. Ingredients: - 2 oz Well-balanced bourbon - 1 oz Amaro (preferably with herbal and citrus notes) - 1/4 oz Maple syrup - 2 dashes Angostura bitters - 2 dashes Orange bitters - 1 small slice of fresh ginger (about the size of a dime) - Garnish: Orange peel twist - Garnish: Brandied cherry (optional) - Ice: Large cube or sphere Glass: Old Fashioned glass Instructions: 1. In the Old Fashioned glass, gently muddle the fresh ginger slice with the maple syrup to release its essential oils and flavor. 2. Fill the glass with a large ice cube or sphere to keep the drink chilled without diluting it too quickly. 3. Pour the bourbon and amaro over the ice, adding a depth of complexity and a herbal embrace to the cocktail. 4. Add the Angostura and orange bitters to bring in the layers of spice and citrus, enriching the overall flavor profile. 5. Stir the mixture gently in the glass until well combined and chilled, about 30 seconds. 6. Take a wide strip of orange peel and gently express (squeeze) the oils over the surface of the drink, rubbing the peel around the rim of the glass to impart the citrus aroma. 7. If desired, drop a brandied cherry into the glass as an additional garnish. It adds a touch of sweetness and an element of sophistication. 8. Serve and enjoy the intricate balance of the Whisper of the Woods, a cocktail that's as grounding as it is invigorating.
