Busted Pipe (Bourbon Amaro Cocktail)

The Busted Pipe cocktail mixes equal parts Amaro Nonino and bourbon served over a large ice cube in a glass, garnished with a Luxardo cherry and lemon twist. This combination balances the herbal bitterness of amaro with the bourbon's warmth, offering a smooth, spirit-forward drink that highlights both ingredients simply and elegantly.

Description

The Busted Pipe (Bourbon Amaro Cocktail) is a stirred chilled cocktail that begins by placing a large ice cube in a glass. Equal measures of Amaro Nonino, an Italian herbal liqueur known for its bittersweet profile, and bourbon whiskey are poured over the ice. The drink is garnished with a Luxardo cherry and a lemon twist, which add a subtle sweetness and citrus aroma.

The cocktail is stirred briefly to chill without diluting excessively, allowing the flavors of the amaro and bourbon to mingle. The result is a drink with smooth, complex herbal notes balanced by the richness and caramel undertones of bourbon, suitable for sipping as an after-dinner or contemplative beverage.
