Chef’s Tips

• Stir and do not shake. Shaking clouds a drink that is only spirit and wine, and thins its texture.
• Keep the vermouth in the fridge once it is open. It goes flat and sour within a month or two.
• Use rye for a drier, spicier drink and bourbon for a rounder, sweeter one.

Pairing Suggestions

• Steak
• Salted almonds
• Dark chocolate

Storage & Reheating

Made to order. A batch of the whiskey, vermouth and bitters keeps in a sealed bottle in the fridge for a week. Stir it over ice when you pour.
