Made per spec only swapping Regan's orange bitters for Ango orange. (In recipes that call for both Ango Aromatic and orange bitters, I think Regan's works better). I chose Rittenhouse Rye, which is a favorite. This is an outstanding drink, one of my favorite Manhattan variations.. I don’t find this overly sweet but that’s likely down to individual taste preferences. I highly recommend the Cocchi di Torino. Antica formula brings too much vanilla to the drink and upsets the balance.
Very nice and not as sweet as I anticipated, which is a good thing. Complex and dangerously drinkable, actually. Whistlepig Piggyback 96.5 proof rye, Dolin Rouge and Dolin Genepy le Chamois (as I'm out of Yellow Chartreuse).
Made this today, on our extended World Cocktail Day, totally belongs to our club of favourite cocktails. Made up today for lack of ice cubes yesterday lol
Lovely flavors but found it to be really cloyingly sweet. I did use a particularly rich vermouth - La Quintyne Rouge. Would be interested to try this with 1/3 or 1/4 each of vermouth and chartreuse.
