On the menu at The Chalet at Rosie Cannonball in Houston, this wintry old fashioned variation layers rye whiskey with a woody, gently bitter, traditional Austrian walnut liqueur called Nux Alpina Nocino—balanced by the fragrant alpine botanical-based Italian Amaro Nonino. The finishing touch, however, is the addition of cocoa bitters, which lends a warm, nutty quality to the cocktail.
