My favorite cocktail, also enjoyed by my grandma Faith, I’m told by my mom. Good taste runs in the family!
Cocktails don't get any more classic than this elegant mix of rye or bourbon, sweet vermouth, and bitters that drinkers have been sipping for close to a century and a half. Garnish with a brandished cherry if you're a traditionalist or a lemon twist for a more modern touch.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces rye whiskey
- 1-ounce sweet vermouth
- 2 dashes of Angostura bitters
- Garnish: brandied cherry (or lemon twist, if preferred)
Directions
- Add the rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters into a mixing glass with ice and stir until well-chilled.
- Strain into a chilled Nick & Nora or coupe glass.
- Garnish with a brandished cherry (or a lemon twist, if preferred).
