Mister Campbell

The Manhattan is a classic recipe that really invited us to experiment. In the Peaky Blinders cocktail book, I discovered another delicious beauty. In this case flavours of absinthe and Benedictine are added to the core recipe. I decided to pick an American Rye whiskey for my drink, which has slightly more sweetness.

Mister Campbell

Ingredients
2 dashes of Angostura aromatic bitters
2 dashes of Peychaud’s bitters
20 ml Red Italian vermouth
30 ml Bénédictine
40 ml Knob Creek Rye whiskey
Absinthe for a rinse

Method
For this recipe, you need a Martini glass or coupe. Rinse the glass with a little bit of absinthe (or spray it, which often works better) and cool the glass with ice. 

Add all other ingredients to a mixing glass with lots of ice. Stir with a barspoon for 15 seconds. Remove the ice from your glass and strain your drink into the glass. If you have a spray bottle with absinthe, finish with another spray of absinthe over the glass.
