Whiskey drinkers will delight in this modern classic.
Sam Ross of New York’s Attaboy created this recipe as “the love child of a Negroni and a Manhattan,” sort of an extra-bitter Boulevardier. Author Adrienne Stillman suggests also trying the Right Hand, made with rum instead of bourbon, which was created by Sam’s business partner Michael McIlroy.

- 1½ oz. bourbon

- ¾ oz. sweet vermouth

- Tools:mixing glass, barspoon
- Glass:coupe
- Garnish:brandied cherry
Preparation
Combine all of the ingredients in a mixing glass with ice, then stir for 25–30 seconds, or until well chilled. Strain into a coupe. Garnish.
