Rose Hill Recipe

Cocktail

1. 1

   Prepare glass

   Chill a rocks glass or coupe by filling it with ice and setting it aside while you build the cocktail.

2. 2

   Combine ingredients

   In a mixing glass, add 1 cup of ice, 2 oz Rittenhouse Rye, 0.5 oz Fino Sherry, 0.5 oz Campari, 0.5 oz sweet vermouth, 0.25 oz dry vermouth, and 2 dashes of orange bitters.

3. 3

   Stir

   Using a bar spoon, stir the mixture briskly for 20–30 seconds (about 15–20 full turns) until well chilled and properly diluted. The ice should make the exterior of the mixing glass slightly frosty.

4. 4

   Prepare serving glass

   Discard the ice used to chill the serving glass. If using a rocks glass, add the large ice cube or sphere to the glass now.

5. 5

   Strain

   Double-strain the chilled cocktail from the mixing glass into the prepared serving glass (over the large ice cube if using a rocks glass), using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh sieve if desired for extra clarity.

6. 6

   Garnish and finish

   Express the oils of an orange peel over the drink by holding the peel skin-side down above the glass and giving it a sharp twist. Optionally run the peel around the rim, then drop it into the drink as a garnish.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve immediately. Sip slowly to appreciate the interplay of spicy rye, bitter Campari, nutty dry fino, and the rounded vermouth blend.
