About the Long Look Back
Kacie Lambert created it in 2018 at Stay Gold in New York. Rye and Japanese whisky share the base, and the alpine amaro Braulio adds a piney, bittersweet backbone that makes it drink like an old fashioned crossed with a Manhattan.
Missing something?
- No Rye Whiskey? Use Bourbon (Softer and sweeter than rye's spice)
- No Rye Whiskey? Use Jim Beam Bourbon (A bourbon: softer and sweeter than rye)
- No Japanese Whisky? Use Scotch Whisky (Blended Scotch is the closest style)
- No Japanese Whisky? Use Johnnie Walker Scotch (A blended Scotch, a little richer)
- No Braulio? Use Cynar (Earthier and less piney)
- No Demerara Syrup? Use Simple Syrup (Lighter, without the toffee notes)
- No Angostura Bitters? Use Peychaud's Bitters (Lighter, with more anise)
