From the Bartender

Printed in American bar books from the 1900s, originally with Amer Picon — which has not been the same product since the 1970s. Amaro Ramazzotti or a mix of Ramazzotti and orange curaçao gets you closest to what the recipe was written for.

Preakness

Rye pepper and dried fruit up front, then honey, saffron and a dozen herbs from the Bénédictine filling in every gap the vermouth left open.

Waldorf Cocktail
Rye Whiskey

Waldorf Cocktail

Rye spice and vermouth sweetness in familiar proportion, then a cool anise wash across the top that keeps returning after each swallow.

Sazerac
Rye Whiskey

Sazerac

Bold and spirit-forward with warming rye spice, a ghostly whisper of anise from the absinthe rinse, and the distinctive floral-bitter depth of Peychaud's bitters. A bright snap of lemon oil on the nose ties it all together.

Manhattan

Manhattan

A sophisticated and spirit-forward cocktail delivering spicy, oak-driven rye whiskey lifted by sweet herbal vermouth and deep aromatic bitters, finishing warm, complex, and impeccably dry.
