The Precision Timepiece is the creation of Sother Teague at Amor y Amargo in Brooklyn, a bar famous for its focus on stirred-not-shaken, spirit-forward cocktails. Teague himself is a living library of all things amaro and bitters, and you can see that pretty plainly here. It takes a deft touch to balance ingredients with such assertive flavors, but in the Precision Timepiece it all moves together like clockwork. Spicy, citrus-scented, tasty clockwork.
Jägermeister is the star here, and in such a large measure its complex, flavorful spices are able to be fully appreciated. Teague calls for Montenegro as the amaro, although there’s plenty of room for experimenting with your own favorites.
