CLASSIC · BOURBON WHISKEY

Left Hand

Name: Left Hand
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 45 ml Bourbon Whiskey; 22.5 ml Red Bitter Liqueur (e.g. Campari or Strucchi); 22.5 ml Sweet Vermouth (e.g. Carpano Antica Formula); Chocolate Bitters (e.g. Bob's Chocolate Bitters); Maraschino Cherry (e.g. Luxardo)

The addition of chocolate bitters is the Left Hand's defining twist - it bridges the gap between bourbon's vanilla-oak character and the bitter herbal notes of the red liqueur, creating a cohesion that neither a Negroni nor a Manhattan achieves on its own.
