A nice introduction to Nocino and I liked the Aperol to brighten the drink versus using a sweet vermouth. The allspice dram spritz is what elevates this drink for me and I will be making these when the weather gets colder and as a holiday treat.
Great cocktail with a fun name! My wife and I really enjoyed this. We have a bottle of Nocino Walnut Liqueur that we rarely use (except in our own Manhatten variation), so it was nice to find another spirit forward cocktail to use it with.
Makes sense since Rittenhouse, like many Kentucky ryes, are only 51% rye in the mashbill. That's the minimum to be able to call it rye. "Barely legal" is what many refer to it as. Only distillery in KY who strays is the excellent New Riff distillery.
