Koval Single Barrel Bourbon Recipe

1. Stir

Add 2 oz Koval Single Barrel Bourbon, 1 oz sweet vermouth, 0.25 oz Benedictine, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters to a mixing glass or large chilled glass.

2. Fill the mixing glass with plenty of ice (enough to chill and dilute slightly). Stir gently with a bar spoon for 20–30 seconds, until the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted (about 20–25 full spoon turns).

3. Place one large ice cube (or fresh ice) into a chilled Old Fashioned glass.

4. Strain the stirred cocktail over the large ice cube into the Old Fashioned glass using a hawthorne or julep strainer.

5. Garnish & finish

Express the oils of an orange twist over the surface of the drink by holding the twist skin-side down above the glass and giving it a quick squeeze. Rub the twist around the rim of the glass if desired, then drop it into the cocktail as garnish.

6. Serve immediately. Sip slowly to appreciate the Koval Single Barrel Bourbon's character balanced by the sweet vermouth and herbal note from Benedictine.
