vanity project

1 1/2 oz Irish Whiskey (Teeling Small Batch)
3/4 oz Cocchi Americano
3/4 oz St. Germain (St. Elder)
2 dash Bittermens Hopped Grapefruit Bitters

Stir with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with ice, and garnish with a lemon twist.Two Thursdays ago, I returned to the collection of recipes for Polite Provisions in San Diego and paused on the Vanity Project as an interesting summery Irish whiskey drink. It was listed on their 2023 menu under "favorites", and I was able to track it back to at least 2015 via a Yelp menu photo. Once assembled, the Vanity Project launced out with a lemon and orchard fruit bouquet. Next, pear and grapefruit notes on the sip progressed into whiskey, grapefruit, and herbal flavors on the swallow.
