The readers (reader?) have spoken and I'm putting up a new post. Yay! Anyway, I've been trying some of the recipes from my Imbibe Magazines. Even my bar didn't have the ingredients for all of the holiday drinks in the November/December issue, especially since several of the drinks call for infusions or special syrups and I've been a bit lazy lately. Why? Because the Manhattans I've been making with Carpano Antica Formula for the vermouth have been so good I haven't felt a need to experiment. Still, a little experimentation never hurt anyone so I mixed up a drink from the "Life of the Party" article in the November/December issue called The Swafford.
The Swafford (Imbibe Magazine)
1 oz. applejack
1 oz. rye whiskey (I used Sazarac, out of everything else)
1/2 oz. maraschino liqueur (Luxardo)
1/2 oz. Green Chartreuse
2 dashes Angostura orange bitters
Ice cubes
Add ingredients to a mixing glass, add ice, stir to chill and strain into a glass.
