History

A spiritous and rich after dinner or late-night sipper.

Dave Castillo created this recipe in January 2021 at Truss & Twine in Palm Springs, California, USA. Castillo's original recipe suggests either Redemption Rye or Old Forester Rye, noting, "They both offer different nuances; one adds to the fruit, and the other the nutty flavors."
