To be fair, John Hansell has a LOT more going on than I do. But I still couldn't help but giggle to myself when I saw his recent review of High West's Rendezvous Rye. I dropped my review back in April.
And speaking of our beloved Rye, here is a cocktail we have been calling the Porkchop Express or sometimes the Porkchop Manhattan depending on how loose the guest is. While I am not a huge fan of cocktails with dinner, this one provides the steady base line that lets a grilled chop find it's voice and sing like the smokey angel it wants to be.
The Armargo Cuzco bitters are my version of the Peruvian Chuncho bitters that were used a substitute for Angostura when the Pisco Sour made it's way back south to it's ancestral home. I use my homemade Angostura recipe but with a ton more Cinnamon. You can take a more simple and speedy route by infusing a bottle of Angostura with Cinnamon for a week.
1 3/4 oz. High West Rendezvous Rye
1/2 oz. Carpano Antica
1/2 oz. Creme de Mure (Leopold's is perfect for this recipe)
5 hits Amargo Cuzco aromatic Cinnamon bitters.
Stir gently over ice and strain into chilled cocktail glass. No garnish needed.

Creme de mure.. brilliant choice. I'm going to have to try this with, you know, all the wrong ingredients since I live in a control state.
