A variation on the earlier RAC Cocktail. Lovingly hand-crafted and highly polished with enough oomph to be a conder in the spirit-forward classics series
The main difference between this and most of the variants (many of which I also love) is the sweet vermouth. So if you like your cocktails perfect, step right in, otherwise move along. BTW I don't have Bokers so tried Jerry Thomas' and orange bitters. Preferred the latter though I note the original recipe had none so I suppose it's dealers choice.
This is much more subtle and elegant than we expected. For us, it's the dry vermouth that is the gently beating heart here. So choose wisely...we went with Antica Torino Vermouth di Torino...perhaps not as austerely dry as some others.
