Review:

In cowboy lingo, a four-flusher is a cheat/swindler/liar but in this case, a Four-Flusher is a tasty bittersweet four equal parts aperitivo cocktail.

The named whiskey I did not have so I used Yellowstone's 93 proof straight bourbon and added 3 dashes of El Guapo's Fuego bitters. Used 1oz each of Bourbon, Montenegro, and Aperol; 1/2oz on the lemon. Fantastic. I would have never thought to pair these ingredients. Kudos to Simon.
