Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ounces Rye whiskey or bourbon
- 1 ounce Sweet vermouth
- 1 pinch Creole seasoning
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
- 1 piece Optional - Maraschino cherry
- 4 pieces Ice cubes
- 0.5 ounce Water (to rinse glass, optional)
Instructions
Fill a mixing glass or shaker with the ice cubes.
Add the rye whiskey or bourbon, sweet vermouth, and Angostura bitters to the mixing glass.
Sprinkle a small pinch of Creole seasoning over the mixture. Be cautious not to overdo it, as the seasoning can quickly dominate the flavor.
Gently stir the mixture for about 20–30 seconds to chill and slightly dilute the drink.
Optional step: Rinse your serving glass with a splash of water and discard to gently coat the interior, enhancing flavor dispersion.
Strain the chilled cocktail into a coupe or rocks glass, depending on preference.
Garnish with a maraschino cherry if desired and serve immediately.
