Old Pal Cocktail Recipe

Think Negroni but with Rye Whisky, Dry Vermouth and Bitter Red. A true classic created in the 1920s by Harry MacElhone at his New York Bar, this rye whisky version of his Boulevardier is named after William "Sparrow" Robinson, then sports editor of The New York Herald in Paris. - Difford’s Guide
