These kind of brown drinks are often based on bourbons or ryes, but the Howl on the Hill is actually a rum cocktail. We used Angostura 1919, but most likely any good quality dark rum will work brilliantly in this cocktail.

Vieux Carré Cocktail
This is the “Vieux Carré” made of rye, Cognac, sweet vermouth, Bénédictine and bitters.

Then there is Danish… Continue reading Remember the Maine
