Introduction
- By: Scotto
Ingredients
- 2.5 parts Russell's Reserve Rye
- 1 part Carpano Punt e Mes
Method
Stir for at least 20 seconds over ice, then pour into chilled glass with a brandy-marinated cherry.
No bitters required here - the Punt e Mes is seriously bitter and aromatic, though if you want to gild the lily I suppose a dash of Angustora would be ok.
This is so damn good I can't describe it.
As an amusing aside, my 2 year old was watching me mix the drink. After I was done, he exclaimed "Dad! You forgot the bitters!". At the same moment my wife was passing by, and the look she gave me could have killed.
