For a century old cocktail, many aspects of The Bamboo make it a decidedly on-trend drink in today’s landscape. The Bamboo eschews a base spirit in favor of industry darling sherry, which also allows it to arrive with a lower alcohol content. To walk us through the complex, stirred blend of Spanish wine, vermouth, and bitters, we’re joined today by Alex Day, one of the partners of Death & Co. Listen on (or read below) to discover Alex’s Bamboo recipe. And don’t forget to subscribe!
Alex Day’s Bamboo Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 ½ ounces Amontillado sherry
- ¾ ounce blanc vermouth
- ¾ ounce dry vermouth
- 1 dash of orange bitters
- Garnish: lemon twist
Directions
- Add all ingredients to a mixing glass filled with ice and stir until chilled. Ideally the sherry and vermouths will be fridge cold prior to mixing, and stirring should take around two-thirds of the amount used to mix higher-ABV cocktails, such as the Martini.
- Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with a lemon twist.
