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.

Dang! Looks tasty; dunno how I missed this while doomscrolling! All I need is Bourbon & a better sweet vermouth to try that. Any recommendations on the Bourbon & Vermouth?

    I used Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond (so cheap and so good, it's our house bourbon) and the Dolin vermouth simply because it comes in half bottles and I don't use a lot of vermouth. Someone else may be able to help if you want recommendations. I would recommend an assertive bourbon, though - with the other stuff it will be a little watery if you use a gentler one.

    There's gotta be a huge market for this, and I don't know why it's not more common. I basically want half bottles for every fortified wine so I can keep them in my fridge and drink fresh.

    My go to bourbon for cocktails is the Elijah Craig Small Batch, mainly due to price. My sweet vermouth recommendation is the Death & Company house sweet vermouth, equal parts Dolin Rouge and Punt e Mes. I prefer that mix to something like Carpano Antica Formula Sweet Vermouth, but you can get that in a 375 ml bottle.
