You’ll realize that the Outdated Friend’s 3 major elements are all liquor. While you collect them, you’ll be mins clear of assembly (i.e. crafting) your new easiest buddy (except for your canine).
Rye Whiskey
Rye distilled in the US is very similar to American bourbon with one key exception – it should be distilled with no less than 51% rye.
Rittenhouse Directly Rye Whisky is our go-to rye whiskey for 2 causes. First, even supposing it’s now produced by way of Heaven Hill in Louisville, Kentucky, its roots are in Philadelphia. 2d, its highly spiced taste is concurrently complicated and clean. It has an ABV of fifty%.
Campari
Campari is a posh liqueur that derives its herbaceous tones from 50+ secret elements that come with sour herbs, fragrant vegetation and fruit. Well-known for being the main Negroni aspect, Campari is a flexible liqueur used to craft a myriad of cocktails together with the Outdated Friend. It has an ABV of 25%.

Dry Vermouth
Not like candy vermouth which is most often ruby purple and produced in Italy, dry vermouth is white and has a French heritage. Most of the people have a bottle of the fortified wine at house because it’s a compulsory martini aspect and, extra steadily than no longer, that bottle is Italy’s Martini & Rossi.
We bought a bottle of Noilly Prat dry vermouth because it’s from France as an alternative of Italy. As an advantage, this dry vermouth’s recipe has 14 botanicals. It has an ABV of 18%.
