Old Pal

1 1/2 oz. Rittenhouse 100 Rye
3/4 oz. Campari
3/4 oz. Dolin Dry vermouth
1 Lemon twist

Stir all ingredients over ice, then strain into a Nick & Nora glass.  Lemon twist for garnish.
    

I wish I liked Campari, but honestly I find it slightly revolting.  I think everyone does somewhere inside.  Super easy drink to make.  The whiskey kept me interested for a little while, but for the most part I was glad when this drink was over.

Gently muddle the strawberry.  Add the remaining ingredients and short shake with ice.  Strain into a small pilsner glass filled with crushed ice.  Add strawberry garnish.
    

Pretty delicious as you might imagine.  Very refreshing.
