Warrior Poet

An intriguingly spiced Manhattan variation from Death & Co’s Denver location The aquavit adds caraway and dill notes that are amplified by the Celery Bitters and these pair nicely with the Rye spice notes. Meanwhile the bit of coconut liqueur adds a richness and nuance to the cocoa and vanilla notes in the sweet vermouth that play a nice foil with the spices 1.5 oz High-Proof Rye (Rittenhouse is an excellent choice; Wild Turkey 101 Rye also works) .5 oz Aquavit (barrel aged version like Linie works best) .5 oz Sweet Vermouth (Carpano or Cocchi Torino) .25 oz Coconut Liqueur (Kalani) 2 dashes Bitter Truth Celery Bitters (feel free to sub in alternate Celery bitters) Stir with ice and strain into a chilled coupe. No garnish
