Rabbit Hole Boxergrail Rye Recipe

Combine spirits and vermouths

Add 2 oz rye whiskey, 0.5 oz rabbit hole Boxergrail, 0.5 oz sweet vermouth and 0.25 oz dry vermouth into a mixing glass.

Add liqueur and bitters

Add 0.25 oz amarena (or maraschino) cherry liqueur, 2 dashes Angostura bitters and 1 dash orange bitters to the mixing glass.

Stir with ice

Fill the mixing glass with large, fresh ice. Stir with a bar spoon for 25–30 seconds (or until the mixing glass is well chilled and the liquid is properly diluted, roughly 20–25% dilution for an old-fashioned style cocktail).

Prepare serving glass

Place a single large ice cube in a chilled old-fashioned or rocks glass.

Strain

Using a julep or Hawthorne strainer, strain the cocktail from the mixing glass into the rocks glass over the large ice cube.

Express orange peel

Hold an orange peel skin-side down about 3–4 inches above the drink and give it a firm squeeze to express oils across the surface. Run the peel around the glass rim and drop it into the drink.

Garnish with cherry

Skewer or drop one Luxardo or amarena cherry into the drink. Serve immediately.
