This Negroni-style cocktail is a riff on the Old Pal with bianco vermouth, which has a more mellowing effect on the whiskey than the dry vermouth traditionally...
1oz. High proof rye whiskey (Jack Daniels Single Barrel Rye 68.6%)
1 oz. Campari
1 oz. Blanco vermouth (Padro & Co. Blanco Reserva)
3drop Saline soln.
Stir with ice and strain into a chilled DOF glass over a block ice cube.
For an equal parts recipe, this is actually quite layered with different flavors. The key is the Blanco vermouth bridging the spice from the overproof rye and mellowing out the Campari.
This particular Blanco has a slight citrusy, fruity sweet taste along with the bitter wormwood and herbal character. Together, the components blend to create a unique taste with little flashes of the individual pieces coming through.
