Irish Manhattan (Dead Rabbit)

1 1⁄2 oz Irish whiskey, Jameson Black Barrel
1 1⁄2 oz Sweet vermouth, Dolin (wormwood-infused, though this can be skipped)
1⁄2 oz Curaçao, Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao
4 ds Bitters, Dr Adam Elmegirab's Orinoco Bitters (3-4 dashes)
1 twst Orange peel (expressed and discarded)
Instructions

Stir, strain, up, twist.

Notes

You can also use wormwood extract or wormwood bitters to punch up the bitterness of the vermouth to late 19th Century levels. Otherwise, consider cutting back on the orange liqueur and vermouth a bit for a dryer balance.

Shawn C commented on 6/03/2024:

This one depends very much on how you make it. Without some sort of attempt to mimic the wormwood infusion, it is a 3 star cocktail, a bit too sweet for its own good (even though I used dry curacao.) The whole concept revolves around the wormwood infusion to the vermouth. Since I don't have wormwood growing, I used 1/4 oz of Malort (which is simply an intense wormwood infusion into neutral spirits) in place of a portion of the Dolin Rouge. This transformed the drink to something closer to what was intended: sweet and fruity at the sip but backed by substantial wormwood bitterness that extends through a long finish.

jmedlong commented on 8/03/2018:

Very nice. I'm a fan of mixing citrus and amaro, and this is well balanced with the other ingredients. I used the Cynar 70 proof, which made it just a tad more bitter, but still pleasant.
