Adam and Kris were asked for a cocktail they enjoy together for this Boston Globe article and they picked the Hearst. Easy to make, enjoyable to drink & lovely to share. (Note: sharing not required for drink enjoyment).

Here’s Adam’s notes and links to other items in the photo.

Makes 1 cocktail

2 ounces gin (We used GrandTen Wire Works Special Reserve - it’s awesome in this cocktail.)
1 ounce sweet vermouth (We used Cocchi Vermouth di Torino. An Italian vermouth, but it’s a bit lighter and a touch of bitterness - great combo with gin.)
1 dash aromatic bitters (Angostura is traditional and lovely)
1 dash orange bitters (Hella’s Orange bitters work really nicely here, but any orange bitters will be great.)
1 wide swatch from an orange peel (We used lemon because that’s what we had. Either is great.)
In a mixing glass, combine the gin, sweet vermouth, aromatic bitters, and orange bitters. Add ice and stir well until chilled.

Strain into a cocktail glass.”Pinch” the orange rind over the drink to extract the oil, then add it to the glass. Enjoy with a loved one.
