#100DaysOfCocktails - Day 58 - Tootsie Roll

Toosie Rolls have been part of the military since their inception, but there was one battle that this candy was a little more than a treat for tired soldiers. This cocktail by Aisha Sharpe blends rye whiskey, chocolate bitters, and sweet Pedro Ximenez sherry to replicate this sweet treat. It works quite nicely.

It is named after scoring three goals in hockey, and it involves sherry. How can I not try it? The Hat Trick is a creation of Jeff Grdinich, a top tier bartender working at The Angeline in New Orleans. It is a fine cocktail, with the Aperol making a stunning appearance to compliment the rhubarb bitters. An interesting exploration for #100DaysOfCocktails.

If you are serious about the craft of bartending, at some point you have bumped into a mention of Death and Co. They published a book in 2014 that took a deep, deep dive into what makes them an elite venue to enjoy a drink. Their cocktail Night Watch jumped out at me, using black strap rum and dark sherry to invoke the mood of the Rembrandt painting it is named after.
