We’re fans of the classics, but there are times we like to experiment. For this cocktail, we start with rye whiskey by Bozeman’s Wildrye Distilling, add Dolin Dry Vermouth, a splash of Carpano Antica Sweet Vermouth, and several drops of Dashfire’s Orange Bitters. The resulting drink is dry and lies somewhere between an Old Fashioned and a Manhattan. Cheers! And please do drink responsibly.
1 ounce rye (or bourbon)
1 ounce dry vermouth
Splash of sweet vermouth
Several drops of orange bitters
Orange rind
Stir first three ingredients with ice cubes for about a minute then strain over a large ice cube in a rocks glass. Add a few drops of bitters and a twist of orange rind.
