The Velvet Ledger

A polished, spirit-forward Woodinville bourbon cocktail: rich with toasted walnut and bittersweet orange, lifted by a touch of maple. Elegant, aromatic, and made for a black-tie evening—without sherry. Ingredients 2 oz Woodinville bourbon ½ oz sweet vermouth ¼ oz maple syrup 2 dashes Angostura bitters 1 dash orange bitters Glass Chilled coupe Preparation Stir all ingredients with ice until well chilled. Strain into the coupe. Express an orange peel over the drink and discard, or use it as a neat garnish.
