Strawberry Road

1 1⁄2 oz Bourbon
3⁄4 oz Campari
1⁄2 oz Dry vermouth
1 Strawberry
3 ds Bitters, Angostura Orange
1 Orange peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Slice strawberry into quarters. Place in shaker. Combine liquids. Muddle. Shake until chilled. Strain into double old-fashioned glass over one large cube. Express orange zest on surface of drink. Drop zest into glass.

Notes

We used Maker’s Mark. A stronger, less sweet bourbon might be better.

History

The inspiration for this drink was the Boulevardier recipe in Brad Thomas Parsons’s AMARO.

This version seems to walk the line between a variation and a new concoction. We leave that decision to others.
