Cocktail glass
Rye whiskey and amaro is the bittered, spice-led corner of the cocktail revival — rye's pepper and grain hold up to amaro's herbal weight, and neither softens the other much. The Bushwick Cocktail and South of Brooklyn are canonical examples, both built around bittered Manhattan logic. Winter Waltz brings warming spices into the same frame. Seven cocktails are listed, all stirred, all of them rewarding slow sips over a single piece of clear ice.
