The Midnight Ledger

A polished, spirit-forward bourbon cocktail with dark cherry, gentle herbal bitterness, and a dry, aromatic finish—elegant enough for black tie without feeling fussy. Ingredients 2 oz Woodinville bourbon ¾ oz oloroso sherry ¼ oz amaro ¼ oz rich demerara syrup 2 dashes aromatic bitters 1 dash orange bitters Stir all ingredients with ice until well chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe and express a strip of orange peel over the drink; discard the peel or use it as a restrained garnish. Glass: Chilled coupe
