An Old Fashioned variation with cola notes and spice.
In 2010 Devon Tarby was challenged by a regular at her bar to come up with a cocktail that used chocolate mole bitters. Her answer? The Pop Quiz, an Old Fashioned variation bolstered by Ramazzotti, with mole bitters complementing the amaro’s cinnamon and cola notes.
Ingredients
- 2 oz. bourbon (Tarby uses Elijah Craig Small Batch)
- 1/2 oz. Ramazzotti
- 1 tsp. simple syrup
- 2 dashes mole bitters (Tarby uses Bittermens Xocolatl mole bitters)
- Tools:mixing glass, barspoon, strainer
- Glass:Old Fashioned
- Garnish:1 orange twist
Preparation
Stir all the ingredients over ice, then strain into an Old Fashioned glass over 1 large ice cube. Express the orange twist over the drink, then gently rub it around the rim of the glass and place it into the drink.
