About
The Duchess is a vintage absinthe cocktail that marries sweet and dry vermouth with a bold pour of absinthe, a splash of chilled water, and a couple of dashes of orange bitters. Equal parts aperitif and adventure, it coats the palate with layers of anise, bitter orange peel, and herbal vermouth in a way that feels both classic and utterly distinctive.
Ingredients
0.75 oz Dry Vermouth
0.75 oz Sweet Vermouth
2 dash Orange Bitters
0.5 oz Absinthe
0.5 oz Chilled Water
Instructions
- Combine the sweet vermouth, dry vermouth, absinthe, chilled water, and orange bitters in a mixing glass with ice.
- Stir for 25 seconds until well chilled.
- Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
- Garnish with an orange twist.
