The Princeton Cocktail: A Classic Whiskey Drink

The Princeton Cocktail is a delightful whiskey-based cocktail that combines the smoothness of whiskey with the herbal notes of vermouth and the sweetness of orange liqueur. This classic cocktail is perfect for those who enjoy a strong drink with a complex flavor profile.

To make a Princeton Cocktail, you will need whiskey, sweet vermouth, orange liqueur, and a few dashes of aromatic bitters. The whiskey provides the backbone of this cocktail, while the sweet vermouth adds a touch of herbal complexity. The orange liqueur brings a hint of sweetness and citrus flavor, while the aromatic bitters add depth and balance.

To prepare the Princeton Cocktail, start by filling a mixing glass with ice. Pour in 2 ounces of whiskey, 1 ounce of sweet vermouth, and 1/2 ounce of orange liqueur. Add a few dashes of aromatic bitters to taste. Stir the mixture well for about 30 seconds to chill and dilute the drink.

Next, strain the cocktail into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a twist of orange peel, if desired. The orange peel adds a touch of freshness and citrus aroma to the drink.

The Princeton Cocktail is best enjoyed slowly, savoring each sip to fully appreciate the flavors. Its rich, complex taste makes it a fantastic choice for whiskey lovers who enjoy a well-balanced cocktail.
