FAIR HARVARD !
This easy-going mixture of pisco, the clear brandy that hails from Peru and Chile, and the soft, lightly sweet blanco vermouth, makes for a lovely apertivo-style cocktail.
2 ounces pisco
1 ounce blanco vermouth
3 dashes orange bitters
Combine ingredients in mixing glass filled with ice and stir until chilled, about 30 seconds.
Strain into a chilled coupe.
Express a lemon twist over the drink and drop into the glass.

There was none of this flitting about from cocktail to cocktail. You found a mix that delighted the palate and soothed the mind in the right proportions and stuck by it.
From Robert Simonson's The Old Fashioned: The Story of the World's First Classic Cocktail, with Recipes & Lore, which was my favorite Christmas present this year. The lovely Diana Prince definitely understands me.

Old-Fashioned Book Club at The Whistler
Is there a better drink than the old fashioned? The Whistler's regular book club turns its attention to cocktail writer Robert O. Simonson's The Old-Fashioned and will be making recipes from the book. Expect both classic and modern variations on the drink, plus bartenders from Analogue, Slippery Slope, Lone Wolf and others will be spinning. But don't just drink old fashioneds—we recently tore through the book in a single night, and it's a fun, whiskey-soaked read.
Book Club is tonight from 6pm-2am.
