Allegheny Cocktail

Tonight we tried an 'Allegheny Cocktail' on page 29 in our Bartender's Guide. 
It was a good drink.  I think it would have been better before dinner rather than the later time we actually had it. (We were visiting with neighbors and had a pizza with them beforehand).

The recipe:
 
1 oz Bourbon (Old Forester)
1 oz Dry Vermouth (Noilly Prat)
1 1/2 oz Blackberry Brandy (LeRoux)
1 1/2 teaspoon Lemon Juice (Meyer)

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Add a twist of lemon peel on top.

This drink is a little tart, but good. It probably would be better with half as much lemon juice. I haven't used Blackberry Brandy that often but it does well in this drink.

Salud!
