Autumn's Ghost, an aromatic mix of white whiskey and amaro

Photo by Adam Milliron

The search for warmth takes us to amaro, whiskey, ginger, cayenne and cardamom — all of which start a glow that spreads from tastebuds to tummy to fingertips. Try one tonight! Our first sip of this was years ago at Acacia, and we still make it during a long winter’s night.

1 1/2 oz of Thistle Finch White White Whiskey, made in Pennsylvania

1 oz Meletti Amaro

1/2 oz Ginger Syrup

1/2 oz Lemon Juice

2 slices of apple

2 cardamom pods

Dash of cayenne to garnish

Make ginger syrup with 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar and 3 T chopped ginger. Add cardamom pods. Boil until syrupy. Strain and cool.

Combine syrup, lemon juice, white whiskey and amaro. Serve with ice block. Garnish with apple slices and cayenne.
