Greenpoint (Michael McIlroy, Milk & Honey Bar, 2005)

6 cl Rye Whiskey (Bulleit)
1,5 cl Sweet Vermouth
1,5 cl Chartreuse jaune
2 dashes Angostura Bitters
2 dashes Orange Bitters


Bourbon Whisky is known to be rather sweet which is why Bartenders substituted it with Rye Whisky over the time for Cocktails such as Manhattan and Old Fashioned.

Chill an old fashioned Champagne Glass and leave it a side. Pour your Ingredients in a Stirrer, top it with thick, Dry Ice cubes and stir until you reach the right level of dilution. Strain your Cocktail into the Glas. You may flame an orange zest on top of your Cocktail and serve.

Modern Cocktails are often very sweet and have a lot of fruits in them. But going back to basics is a wonderful experience and a pure journey of distincive tastes.
