Day 7: The Glass Camel Cocktail
Another day, another cocktail recipe. I still wanted to play with Canton, and it seemed to me that it might be a good sweet and firey match for Punt e Mes bitter/sweet vermouth. So, what uses vermouth? A Manhattan. Now, if we’re going to make a Manhattan with added spicy ginger, we probably want to start with a fairly non-spicy whiskey. Bourbon, not rye. I chose Corner Creek Reserve Bourbon, which is too sweet for me to drink straight but is less likely to overwhelm the Canton. The final result is a tasty drink, with ginger that really comes through as flavor and not heat. Pretty interesting, particularly with the strongly vanilla bourbon.
The Glass Camel Cocktail
2oz Bourbon
1oz Canton cognac/ginger liqueur
1/2oz Punt e Mes
1 dash Angostura bittersStir over ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a brandied cherry.
