rhapsody in blue

1 1/2 oz Rittenhouse Rye Whiskey
3/4 oz Dolin Blanc Vermouth
3/4 oz Amaro Pasubio
1 dash Bitter Truth Celery Bitters

Stir with ice, strain into a Nick & Nora glass, and garnish with a blueberry.Two Tuesdays ago, I made an impulse purchase of the alpine blueberry Cappelletti Pasubio Vino Amaro at Ball Square Fine Wines since I had enjoyed it in a pair of drinks at Estragon and Amor y Amargo, and I had spotted it mentioned a few times on the web recently. As a starting place, I went to the KindredCocktails database and found the Rhapsody in Blue from Death & Co.'s Welcome Home book. In the book, the recipe was attributed to Matthew Belanger in 2019 as a blueberry riff on the Boulevardier. Since we had a package of blueberries in the refrigerator for use as garnish, it seemed like a great starting place. In the glass, the Rhapsody in Blue opened up with rye, blueberry, and grape aromas with a dark plum undertone. Next, a dark berry fruit sip gave way to rye, blueberry, and floral flavors on the swallow with a celery finish.
