The Montego

The Montego cocktail, made by the Dogwood beverage team, is the result of adaptations on a classic. The Montago is a unique take on a Martinez, traditionally made with gin, sweet vermouth, maraschino liqueur and bitters, which is ultimately a variation on a classic Manhattan. The Martinez is named after the city in California where the cocktail was created. Our Montego is named for the origin of the rum used to make the dram. The dram gives the drink a lot of spice notes, making it perfect for Fall, and the amaro provides a sweet and slightly bitter undertone.

Ingredients:
1.5 oz. Plymouth Gin
1 oz. Amaro Nonino
.75 oz. St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram
2 dashes Angostura bitters
2 dashes orange bitters

To make:
Stir all ingredients in a mixing glass for 20 to 30 seconds.
Strain into a coup glass, and garnish with an orange peel.

Cheers!
