Here’s a little Manhattan-adjacent drink I whipped up yesterday, sort of inspired by one I had at a restaurant long ago:

• 2oz Forty Creek whisky
• 1/3 oz Barolo Chinato sweet wine
• 1/3 oz Strega
• 2 dashes Sichuan peppercorn bitters

I like it a lot! Between the spice and the Strega, there was a lot going on, and the Forty Creek has its own bit of spice to join the party. I made a batch of two, so the 1/3 oz measures were actually 3/4 oz ¯_(ツ)_/¯
