Deadly Sin

We saved this recipe long ago from the now-defunct DrinkBoy.com forums, and over the years it’s proven itself to be an evergreen favorite. Halfway between a Manhattan and a Martinez, it’s a perfectly balanced delight from mixologist Rafael Ballesteros, creator of at least a half-dozen of our most-loved recipes.

Stir with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a cherry or an orange twist.
