Old Grandad is a bourbon, but it’s about a 30% rye mash bill, so it can be a nice middle ground. The Bottled in Bond version was really good when I could find it.
The Oriental cocktail was one of my favorite ways to have it other than straight up. It’s like a Manhattan and a Margarita had a baby.
1.5 oz rye
0.75 oz sweet vermouth
0.75 oz orange liquor
0.5 oz lime juice
Rye whiskey. Not as popular as bourbon, but there’s some decent ones here.
I’ll suggest Bulleit Rye for great tasting and won’t break the bank
I like the Wild Turkey Rye.
