Seriously, it is nearly 5 AM. Why am I still up? Because I am a fool, screwing around on the 'net rather than getting some sleep. I'm just now getting a bit sleepy. Anyway... didn't make my first drink until about an hour ago. A Negroni variation using Aperol instead of Campari. Why? It was a closer reach, and I was curious. Very tasty, and possibly appealing to those who find Campari too bitter. I wanted to make another, when I realized I was out of Gin. I grabbed the bourbon, and figured, let's see what happens.
What happened was deliciousness!
Manhattan
1.5 oz Old Granddad Bonded Bourbon
.75 oz Sweet Italian Vermouth
.75 oz Aperol
Since Aperol is somewhat of a bitter, I decided not to use any. Worked out perfectly. In essence, ad 1:1 Manhattan. It is a nicely incorporated drink that also allows each component to be detectable.
Now I'm sleepy.
