Stirred down and spirit-forward, so suited to late-night sipping. This cocktail has broader appeal when served on-the-rocks in an old-fashioned glass...
How about drinking this IN PLACE of a cigar? Maybe combined with an actual cigar, which might overpower the subtle flavors, you aren't getting how interesting this cocktail is on its own. My 2 cents.
I may give that a try. Thanks. I am working on my own cocktail that would pair well with a good cigar, but hopefully make on think of cigars on its own.
