  • I tried a Vieux Carre with cynar swapped for the sweet vermouth. It was very vegetal and bitter. So I tried again.

    Stirred on ice:

    1oz cognac, 1oz rye, 1/2oz cynar, 1/2 oz sweet vermouth, 1/4 oz cointreau

    Poured on a cube with an express orange peel.

    Its pretty good. I’m a fan of cutting rye back 50% with cognac, in a lot of cocktails. I’d run out of orange bitter but 1/4oz cointreau is a decent replacement in this context. A little spicy. Very herbal and bitter. And orange to round it out.
