Larceny 92 Proof Recipe

Cocktail

1. 1

   Chill glass

   Place a coupe or Nick & Nora glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill while you build the cocktail.

2. 2

   Combine ingredients

   In a mixing glass, add 2 oz Larceny 92 proof bourbon, 1 oz sweet vermouth, 2 dashes Angostura bitters, 1 dash orange bitters, and 0.25 oz simple syrup.

3. 3

   Add ice and stir

   Fill the mixing glass with ice (enough to come near the top). Stir gently but firmly for 25–30 seconds until the exterior of the mixing glass is well chilled and the cocktail is properly diluted (about 20–30% dilution by eye/feel).

4. 4

   Prepare garnish

   Discard the ice or ice water from your chilled serving glass. Rub the rim of the glass with the orange peel to express oils, then lightly run the peel around the rim; reserve the peel. Spear a Luxardo cherry on a cocktail pick if desired.

5. 5

   Strain and finish

   Double-strain the stirred cocktail into the chilled coupe/Nick & Nora glass using a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer (or a single fine strainer) to keep out small ice shards. Express the orange peel over the cocktail to release oils, then drop the peel into the drink or rest it on the rim. Add the Luxardo cherry as a garnish.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve immediately. Recommend sipping slowly to appreciate the balance of Larceny's wheated bourbon character with the sweet vermouth and bitters.
