Built as a stirred, Manhattan-adjacent drink, it pairs Irish whiskey and rye for a layered grain character, then deepens the profile with Cynar’s bittersweet artichoke-amaro complexity, a touch of maraschino liqueur for aromatic cherry-almond lift, and dry vermouth for a crisp herbal finish. In the glass it drinks like a bolder, more brooding take on a classic whiskey cocktail: warming and robust up front, with earthy bitterness and subtle sweetness that keep it balanced rather than heavy. It’s elegant, contemplative, and very much in the style of early-2010s craft-cocktail bar mixing—precise, structured, and built for slow sipping.

How to make a The Jeremy Renner

Serves 1 · Takes 5 minutes
Jameson Irish Whiskey 30 ml (Jameson), Rittenhouse Bottled In Bond Straight Rye 100 Proof 30 ml (Rittenhouse 100-proof), Cynar 15 ml, Maraschino cherry liqueur 7.5 ml, Dolin de Chambery Dry Vermouth 22.5 ml (Dolin)
Add the Irish whiskey, rye, Cynar, maraschino liqueur, and dry vermouth to a mixing glass filled with ice
Stir until thoroughly chilled and properly diluted
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass
Finish by expressing a strip of lemon peel over the surface to release its oils, then use it as a twist garnish
~ Original recipe specifies Jameson Irish whiskey, Rittenhouse 100-proof rye, and Dolin dry vermouth. Serve up in a chilled cocktail glass. ~

Power tips
Elevate the The Jeremy Renner with these master mixologist tips

Treat the whiskey split as a tuning knob: keep Jameson at 30 ml for the honeyed lift, but adjust the rye portion by proof/age. If your rye is especially spicy (or higher proof than Rittenhouse BiB), drop it 5 ml and add 5 ml more dry vermouth to preserve the drink’s intended “Manhattan-adjacent” balance. Conversely, if your rye is softer, bump the rye 5 ml and reduce vermouth 5 ml to keep the backbone firm against Cynar.
Dial in dilution like a pro—this drink lives or dies on it. Aim for a long, quiet stir (25–35 seconds) with large, cold cubes to reach a silky texture without watering out the Cynar/Maraschino interplay. A practical target: the drink should feel lightly viscous and the lemon oil should sit on a tight, glossy surface—not break up into a watery sheen.
