Some drinks just look strange on paper. If you’ve mixed even a single Manhattan, you’re familiar with the dark, potent powers of Angostura bitters. Most cocktails take a dash or two, but an entire ounce and a half? That’s what’s called for in this unusual—but oh-so tasty—drink from New York bartender Giuseppe Gonzalez. The orgeat and lemon balance the herbal intensity to give it a richness that carries through to the last sip.

- 1/2 ounce rye whiskey

- 1 ounce orgeat
