My Old Pal recipe comes from the iPhone app created by the venerable Jimmy Patrick (http://www.mixographer.com/). I'm still fairly certain that the recipe Tif made for me at the Gibson was using sweet vermouth . . . ratios could be different though. Trying out the differing recipes and tweaks and twists are all part of the fun. Huh, I guess it depends on where you get your recipe.

Your recipe sounds delish! I'll have to put Aquavit on the shopping list and give it a try. Aquavit is a spirit I'd love to explore more than I have. We did a tasting of various infused aquavits at Aquavit in NYC with one of their chefs and it was amazing. Cheers! Hope I get a chance to say hello in person at Tales this year! Heya Neyah,

The only bourbon coming any where near as supple would be Makers Mark (no Rye at all in the mash bill), but even then, when you put them side by side, the corn element of Maker's provides more depth. More interestingly, we have just put an strikingly similar drink on our Spring menu: Valkerie 2 oz. Krogstad Aquavit 1/2 oz. Aperol 1/2 oz. Dolin Blanc Sunshine Bitters (Saffron/Cardamom) Amazing to me that Aperol and the Dolin Blanc got paired in two very different cocktails. 2 points that I think are of note on the New Aquaintance;
