Advanced Palate

1754 was the year the French-Indian war began, where British American colonies fought against New French colonies. This cocktail features an American rye whiskey standing up against some aggresive French ingredients (green chartreuse, dry vermouth and apricot brandy), mimicking the events of 1754.

Editor's Note

Rittenhouse rye anchors this spirit-forward composition, while Green Chartreuse and apricot brandy provide a complex, layered finish. A sophisticated, history-inspired pour.
