The Art of the Mix Drink: The Affinity Cocktail

The Affinity Cocktail
.75 oz. Dry Vermouth
.75 oz. Sweet Vermouth
.75 oz. Old Mr. Boston Scotch Whisky
2 Dashes Orange Bitters
Stir well with cracked ice and strain into 3 oz. cocktail glass.

This one seemed interesting with the sweet/dry Vermouth mix which I've only seen in a perfect Manhattan. However I like my Manhattans imperfect (no dry vermouth) and with Bourbon so this one really wasn't for me. Again, it was a bit strong so I would recommend keeping the ice in the drink. See previous posts for the acquisition of orange bitters.
