VIEUX MERVEILLE

Vieux Merveille Cocktail

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.
