Elected Official

The Elected Official balances the spicy grain of rye against mezcal's subtle smoke, creating a backbone of earthy complexity. Amaro Nonino adds bittersweet depth with hints of saffron and orange peel, while maraschino liqueur contributes a dry, nutty sweetness. The mole bitters tie everything together with warm spice and chocolate undertones, resulting in a stirred drink that's bold but polished—more backroom negotiation than campaign trail.
