An incantation of rare woods and old-world bitterness, Black Magic channels the deep mystique of toasted Mizunara stave finished bourbon. Italian vermouth and bitter liqueur swirl with black walnut and orange, casting a spell that’s equal parts shadow and sophistication. A ritual best performed after dark.

• 2 dashes orange bitters (Bittercube suggested)
