Admiral

Name: Admiral
Prep time: 3 min
Yield: 1 serving
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 1 oz Rye Whiskey; 2 oz Dry Vermouth; 0.5 oz Lemon Juice

Bright lemon lifts the spicy rye while dry vermouth adds an herbal, dry backbone; the result is a brisk, balanced cocktail with a pronounced citrus-sour edge. It pours a pale straw color, served chilled and clear, finished with a lemon twist that oils the aromatics. Easy to make and refreshing, it's a concise aperitif-style drink for when you want something rye-forward but slightly lighter than a Manhattan.
