Amateur Mixology

I love cocktails. Specifically I like old cocktails like Manhattans, and Martinis with gin and vermouth in them. I also like to come up with my own. Here's a few for you to try in your own home!

Oaken Throne
In a cocktail shaker, combine with ice:
2oz of Applejack
1oz sweet vermouth
several dashes of Angosturra bitters
Stir and strain into a Collins glass;
top with cold apple cider

Kingslayer
In a cocktail shaker, combine with ice:
1.5oz of rye whiskey
.5oz of Campari
.5oz of dry vermouth
a dash each of orange and Angosturra bitters
stir and strain into a cocktail glass or an old fashioned glass with fresh ice

enjoy!
