Rate Recipe

This lauded classic is elevated by the use of Cherry Bark Vanilla Bitters, giving it an implied sweetness that falls into balance with the woodsy cherry bark and spicy bite of the rye. Italian sweet vermouth fits perfectly into this boozy structure, bringing caramel and wormwood notes. Try pairing different vermouths and bitters to create interesting variations.

Method:

Add all of the ingredients to a stirring vessel and then fill with ice.
Stir with a bar spoon until chilled and strain into a cocktail glass.
For a low ABV variation, use N/A whiskey.

*For a flame of citrus oil, peel a swath of orange peel. Light a Bittercube cocktail cedar and place the peel 2” above the flame for a second or two, then express the orange oils through the flame over the top of the cocktail.

*To smoke a glass and impart a robust cedar aroma, ignite a Bittercube cocktail cedar, then invert a glass over the flame to fill with the smoke. Place an inverted glass and a cedar on a plate or flame-resistant surface until the cocktail is ready to strain into the glass.
