The ingredients and proportions are a long way from the original equal parts Scotch whisky and dry vermouth, but the result is a rather better cocktail...
This is a beguiling little bite of a cocktail. Definitely important to keep the proportion of curaƧao to 5ml or perhaps even less - a dash? - because it provides an integrating citrus background to the vermouths and whisky without overwhelming them with sweetness. I might even try it with orange bitters next, per one of those older recipes.
