Kimchi looks skeptical but it's good.

2 oz bourbon

1 oz orange liqueur

1/2 oz sweet vermouth

1/2 oz (I used 3/4oz) lemon juice

Shake all with ice.

I mean I have almost everything here. The lemon is the only thing I ran out of. Thing is I have almost everything here because I don't like that orange stuff. And I'm not the biggest fan of vermouth. So I really struggle to get that stuff gone without throwing it out 😅

I'm gonna find me some lemons, wish me luck.

    It's worth noting that lots of people who "don't like vermouth" only have vermouth from a bottle that's been sitting opened and unrefrigerated for years.

    Also, if you need to get rid of vermouth, even stuff that's old, it often works well for cooking applications. It's not a 1:1 drop-in for wine, but especially for dry or blanc vermouth, it works really well.

    Good luck! It's mostly bourbon, and was sweet even with the increased lemon, you could safely reduce the amount of orange stuff and it would still be plenty sweet.

    Grande Garrone is an orange liqueur made with cognac, I like it, or you could try making your own (not for this round, I mean in general) to get one you like. Could burn some of the peels to get a more complex flavor, or use tangelos, customize it.

    Cointreau! That's what I have. Bought it for Crêpes Suzette, and that's fine. But I never found out what else to do with it.

    Thanks!
