Old Hickory
Autumn 2020
Light and refreshing, yet boldly flavoured, this lesser known New Orleans aperitif is a yin-yang of dry and sweet vermouth spiced up with two kinds of bitters. It’s the perfect pre-dinner cocktail for anyone who doesn’t drink spirits.
Makes 1 drink
1½ oz dry vermouth
1½ oz sweet vermouth
2 dashes Peychaud’s bitters
2 dashes orange bitters
Lemon twist to garnish
1. Place vermouths and bitters in a chilled lowball glass. Add enough ice to come above liquid. Stir in glass until ice cold, about 25 seconds. Add a few more ice cubes, if necessary. Squeeze lemon twist over drink and place in glass.
