About
This cocktail was created by Andrew Cordero at The Reading Club in San Diego in 2022. Cordero was part of the cocktail team connected with The Reading Club around its opening. It has a whiskey-forward, Manhattan-like structure, but the split base of bourbon and pot still Jamaican rum gives it more weight and funk. Pedro Ximénez takes the place of a more traditional vermouth, bringing concentrated dried-fruit sweetness that works especially well with both spirits.Cheers y’all!
