🥄

Stir Apple Brandy, Mezcal, Averna, Triple Sec with ice. Strain into a rocks glass.

Inspired by the Crooklyn from Franklin Mortgage & Investment Co. and Cure’s Black & Bluegrass, I created my own version of a 3:1 Averna to curaçao with Angostura and Peychaud's Bitters Black Manhattan. For this drink, I used apple brandy and mezcal in equal parts and named it the Devil's Staircase after an IPA at Widowmaker Brewing that caught my eye several months back.
