VIEUX MERVEILLE
I created the Vieux Merveille as a twist on the Vieux Carre. I thought that amaro would be a nice substitute for the vermouth and the orange bitters rounds this drink out well. Why call it an “Old Marvel”? I’ll let you ponder that as you sip…
Recipe
1 1/2 oz Rye
3/4 oz Brandy
3/4 oz Amaro
3-4 dashes Orange Bitters
Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker two-thirds full with ice and shake vigorously until thoroughly chilled, 15 seconds. Strain into rocks glass over large ice cube.
