Joyce of Hillhouse

Vermouth-forward and gently smoky, this stirred cocktail balances the herbaceous sweetness of sweet vermouth with a restrained measure of Scotch and a whisper of aromatic bitters. It pours clear amber in a chilled cocktail glass with a bright lemon twist that lifts the finish. Worth trying if you enjoy smooth, spirit-led aperitifs that highlight vermouth's complexity with a smoky counterpoint.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz Sweet Vermouth
  • 1 oz Scotch
  • 1 dash Aromatic Bitters

Instructions

  1. Pour sweet vermouth, Scotch whisky, and bitters into a mixing glass half-filled with ice.
  2. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are well combined and chilled.
  3. Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass, allowing the liquid to flow smoothly while leaving the ice behind.
  4. Garnish the drink with a twist of lemon, releasing the citrus oils over the surface before placing it on the rim.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy the blend of flavors.
