copper blue

2 oz Rye Whiskey (Old Overholt 86°)
1/2 oz Sweet Vermouth (Cocchi)
1/2 oz Amaro Pasubio
2 dash Citrus Bitters (Angostura Orange)

Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with 3 blueberries on a pick.Two Fridays ago, I spotted a house recipe from Chuck Taggart that he posted the day before on the Pixelfed app. That drink was called the Copper Blue with rye, vermouth, and Pasubio, and the closest recipe to this that I have tried was the Return of the King with Scotch and Punt e Mes in place of the rye and regular sweet vermouth and the Rhapsody in Blue with blanc vermouth and celery bitters in place of sweet vermouth and citrus bitters. In the glass, the Copper Blue gave forth a rye and blueberry aroma. Next, grape and berry notes on the sip developed into rye, bitter herbal, and blueberry flavors on the swallow with an orange finish.
