This rum and amaro-based cocktail by Chris Flannery-McCoy of Maison Premiere recalls the richness of an Old-Fashioned crossed with the anise undertones of a Sazerac. The full ounce of sweet Meletti amaro shines through the brown sugar rum base with notes of candied orange, caramel and saffron to pair with St. George absinthe’s minty, herbaceous bite.
