The kit for this drink
From the Bartender

Angostura was carried aboard Royal Navy ships as a medicine for seasickness; officers took it in gin because that was what was to hand. Plymouth gin is the traditional choice, being the Navy's own. Serve it colder than you think is necessary.

Bold and botanical, with juniper and floral gin notes weaving through the rich, herbaceous sweetness of vermouth, anchored by a whisper of aromatic bitters that lends depth and a dry, warming finish.

Rye Whiskey

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.

Dubonnet Cocktail
Dubonnet Rouge

Dubonnet Cocktail

A sophisticated, wine-forward aperitif where Dubonnet's bittersweet quinine and dark fruit meet the botanical complexity of gin, lifted by a final burst of aromatic citrus oils and a dry, gently bitter finish that awakens the palate.

Lush and vermouth-forward with rich caramel, dried fruit, and herbal sweetness, underpinned by the dry botanical lift of gin for a complex, elegantly bittersweet finish.
