History

A bittersweet herbal riff on a Boulevardier, created in January 2025 by yours truly.

Review

The name stands for Rye & Iron, a reference to the rye whisky and ferro china, which form the backbone of this bittersweet cocktail. (Also good pre-mixed and bottled to be poured as a bartender's handshake shot).

Looks dull right? Trust the magic of Ferro China. So much more than just a Boulevardier riff.
