Stir with ice, double strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with an orange twist.Two Fridays ago, Al Sotack posted a link to his new Epicurious article which had a recipe that he created at the Franklin Mortgage & Investment Co. years ago called the Kensington. Al named his Manhattan riff after a Philadelphia neighborhood, and he included marmalade in the mix which I found unique since it was a stirred cocktail. In the glass, the Kensington showcased an orange oil bouquet over Bourbon and more orange aromas. Next, grape with a citrussy accent on the sip flowed into Bourbon, candied orange peel, and anise flavors on the swallow.
