The Turf Club is a classic cocktail that combines the richness of bourbon with the refreshing notes of citrus and the complexity of sweet vermouth. This drink is perfect for those who appreciate a well-balanced and flavorful cocktail.
Start by chilling a cocktail glass by filling it with ice water and setting it aside.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the bourbon, sweet vermouth, fresh orange juice, and Angostura bitters.
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
Empty the chilled cocktail glass of ice water. Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the mixture into the chilled glass.
Express the oils from an orange twist over the drink and drop it in as garnish.
Notes
For a slightly different flavor profile, consider using a different type of bitters or adding a splash of club soda for a refreshing twist. Adjust the sweetness by modifying the amount of sweet vermouth to personal taste.
