The “Old Pal” cocktail is a classic drink based on rye whiskey with dry and slightly bitter notes. It’s often compared to the “Boulevardier” cocktail, but instead of sweet vermouth, dry vermouth is used. Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients:
- 30 ml rye whiskey
- 30 ml dry vermouth
- 30 ml Campari
- Ice
- Lemon peel for garnish
Instructions:
- Fill a mixing glass with ice.
- Add rye whiskey, dry vermouth, and Campari.
- Stir the ingredients well with a bar spoon.
- Strain the cocktail into a chilled glass.
- Garnish with a lemon peel, gently squeezing it over the glass to release the aroma.
The Old Pal is an elegant and slightly bitter cocktail, perfect for those who enjoy strong and dry drinks.
