The French Old-Fashioned
Pete Volkmar, Gourmet Galley Catering, North Stonington, CT, USA
Pete is pictured here behind the bar at Painter’s, Cornwall-on-Hudson, with Joshua Levie from The Richardson, Brooklyn, wearing the baseball cap
60 ml (2 oz) Michter’s US1 Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey
7.5 ml (.25 oz) Green Chartreuse
2 dashes Dale DeGroff’s Aromatic Bitters
2 dashes Regans’ Orange Bitters No.6
1 large orange twist for oil and garnish
Stir all ingredients well over ice and strain into a chilled rocks glass. Optionally, the drink may be mixed and stirred in the glass it will be served in. Bend and squeeze the orange twist, shiny side toward the mixed drink, to release the oil onto the drink’s surface. Rub the rim of the glass with the bent orange twist and drop it into the drink. Serve on a cocktail napkin.
gaz sez: There’s something about an Old-Fashioned; a Wicked, Whiskey Old-Fashioned . . . And this one takes the cake as Kentucky meets France in complete harmony, and Dale’s bitters and my bitters jump into the fray, too. Nice one, Pete!
