Cocktail Recipe: Gin Pal from Ampersand Distilling

When you can't decide between a martini and a negroni, the Gin Pal is your friend. Taking its name from a drink called the old pal (which uses whisky instead of gin), this cocktail is a riff on several classic ingredients.

The Gin Pal is a delightfully dry cocktail. It plays up the floral notes of Ampersand Gin and Imperative Dry Vermouth, while Campari gives a nice bitter edge. Aromatic and delicious, this drink is at home during any cocktail hour.
