Old Hickory

New Orleans | Cocktail | from Anders Erickson

Named after General Andrew Jackson (before his presidency), this drink pays tribute to his nickname “Old Hickory,” which reflected his tough persona. Surprisingly, this drink is far from tough - it’s light, easy to make, and lower in ABV. The Old Hickory combines both sweet and dry vermouth, making it a smooth, sessionable sipper.
