Fireside Delight

  • Level: Easy
  • Yield: 1 cocktail
  • Total: 5 min
  • Active: 5 min
This is a chef’s drink, no doubt. The name has had several incarnations at my restaurants over the years: “Total Domination…” It is currently on my Maui menu as “Ships in the Night.” Spirit-forward and totally sophisticated, it requires a solid two minutes of stirring over ice to chill and dilute the cocktail to the perfect texture and consistency. Try to have just one.

3/4 ounce rye whiskey, preferably Rittenhouse Rye 100 Proof

Made exactly as advertised. This drink is really well balanced. It’s bitter and sweet at the same time. I know that doesn’t make sense but if you make it I think you’ll agree. We do Friday night cocktails every week. This will definitely be in our rotation.
