This simple drink is based on the Sazerac, but has no absinthe, so it should be palatable. to most whisky drinkers. I've notice few whiskey fans who really like absinthe, and some absinthe fans admit that they would happily do without the whiskey. I would say that this cocktail will please just about anyone with refined taste, however.
A note on the scotch selection: Compass Box Asyla is a blended whisky that is very delicate and smooth. It shouldn't slap you down with peat and smoke, though those things are present. I chose a mild scotch by Bowmore distillery as a fair stand-in.
- 2 oz. Compass Box Asyla scotch (McClelland's Islay used)
- 1/4 oz. Amaro Averna
- 1 tsp. simple syrup
- 1 orange twist
Stir all ingredients except twist with ice and strain into a double rocks glass. Garnish with the orange twist.
