The Affinity Cocktail is a variation of the perfect Manhattan that uses scotch, instead of rye or bourbon, as the liquor of choice. Flirting with sophistication the Affinity makes for an elegant aperitif style cocktail. Equal parts scotch, sweet vermouth, and dry vermouth with a dash of bitters are stirred and served up.
Affinity Cocktail
1 oz Laphroaig scotch
1 oz dry vermouth
1 oz sweet vermouth
2 dashes bitters
1 lemon peel
Pour the ingredients into a mixing glass and stir well. Strain into a cocktail glass. Add lemon peel and enjoy.
