towncar cocktail

1 oz Rye Whiskey (Rittenhouse)
1 oz Cognac (Pierre Ferrand 1840)
1/2 oz Dry Curacao (Pierre Ferrand)
1/2 oz Sweet Vermouth (Cocchi)
2 dash Angostura Bitters
1 dash Orange Bitters (Angostura Orange)

Stir with ice, strain into a rocks glass with a large ice cube, and garnish with a lemon twist. Two Fridays ago, I spotted a recipe from Imbibe Magazine on Kindred Cocktails called the Towncar Cocktail. The drink first published in 2019 was created by Chelsea Carter at the Apis Restaurant and Apiary in Austin as a mashup of an Old Fashioned, a Manhattan, and a Sidecar (minus the citrus). Once prepared, the Towncar started up with a lemon oil, Cognac, and orange peel aroma. Next, a grape and orange sip cruised into rye, Cognac, orange, clove, and allspice flavors on the swallow.
