Old Pal

A favorite forgotten classic. Experiment with the salt here. It rounds the edges of the drink nicely.

Combine ingredients in a beaker, including the salt, and stir until chilled. Strain into coupe. Hit with orange peel.

I prefer Willett 5-yr rye and Dolin dry for this, but use whatever you like.

Really enjoyed experimenting with the salt. Unique ingredient that brings something new to the table. Thanks for sharing.

Agreed. The salt is an interesting twist. A forgotten classic? What are the origins?

Just went to great me cocktail bar on Athens ga named after this drink. Great version made there too. Been making them since I had few there.

Have had many (probably too many) in Paris @ Harry's American Bar, but the salt is a great twist. Good job.

Has anyone tried the variation with Aperol vs Campari?
