Review:

Bittersweet and spirit-forward with delicious toffee apple-like notes. It's sacrilegious, but I prefer this cocktail shaken.

Adapted from a recipe created in 2013 by Mike Fleming at West Bridge restaurant in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Named after Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler (1914-2000), the Austrian and American actress and inventor who took the stage name Hedy Lamarr. Her most successful film was the 1949 Samson and Delilah. More notably, early in World War II, along with George Antheil, she co-invented a radio guidance system for Allied torpedoes that defeated the threat of radio jamming.

This is lovely and quite autumnal. I was out of Punt E Mes so subbed in Antico Torino Vino Chinato. Might have been just a bit too soft as the drink was rather sweet. Still enjoyed the flavours very much and plan to make this again when I've restocked on Punt E Mes.

This is fantastic! I originally found it on Fred Yarm's site. He knows the creator. Lovely drink. Made it a few times. Always serve mine up in a coupe.
