To The 5 Boroughs

To The 5 Boroughs

60ml Rye Whiskey
15ml Sweet Vermouth
15ml Dry Vermouth
7.5ml Maraschino Liqueur
20ml of your chosen Amaro (like Campari)
10ml Origin Peach Iced Tea Syrup
2 Dashes Orange Bitters

Add everything to a mixing glass with ice. Stir for about 20-30 seconds until properly chilled and diluted. Once it’s stirred enough strain into a chilled couple glass, express the oils from a lemon peel over the drink and garnish.

This drink slightly takes from 3 different drinks named after some of the boroughs of New York. The structure of the drink is part of the inspiration for the name, the other inspiration is the name of a classic Beastie Boys record, giving us ‘To The 5 Boroughs.’
This 3rd drink I made for the Origin Bartenders competition is the perfect late night aid, sipping on this to finish your night is exactly what you want. A smooth, silky textured drink that’s also well balanced between the booze and the subtle sweetness coming from the peach and sweet vermouth. If the other 2 drinks I made for this competition weren’t exactly what you’d go for, I hope this can tick your boxes instead.
