The Villa d'Este, by way of Kentucky and Scandinavia

We'll be spending Derby Day at the Merchandise Mart looking at art we can't afford, so chances of wrapping our fingers around the traditional season-opening julep are slim. I tried to compensate by fixing one tonight, but it's just not the same when you can't take your time. So for my second, I decided to put the bourbon to some novel use and came across this:
Tivoli
  • 1½ oz bourbon
  • ½ oz sweet vermouth
  • ½ oz aquavit
  • dash Campari
[livejournal.com profile] monshu called this a "more interesting Old Fashioned", which inspired me to garnish it with a cherry. The Campari gives it a little bite as well as a pleasant colour. I imagine I'll be drinking more of these before the summer is out. (Though probably not more than one at a single sitting!)
