Old Pal
This is a classic, simple drink. The dominant whiskey and Campari are toned down by the dry vermouth. Experts warn, however, that if you’ve never had Campari, then you should not make this your first experience.
To make the cocktail, fill a mixing glass two-thirds full with ice; add whiskey, dry vermouth, and Campari. Stir it for about 20 seconds, and then strain into a cocktail glass. Finally, add a lemon peel as garnish.
Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 oz. bourbon or rye whiskey
– 3/4 oz. dry vermouth
– 3/4 oz. Campari
– 1 lemon twist as garnish
