Fin de Siecle

The name implies that it is the End of The World! But it's just another bitter orange cocktail with Amer Picon. I used Carpano Antica sweet vermouth, which made this drink rival the best Manhattans while using a sub-standard gin. In that sense it might just be the end of the world, or just a beginning.

• 1 1/2 oz. gin
• 3/4 oz. sweet vermouth (Carpano Antica used)
• 1/4 oz. Amer Picon (Picon Biere used)
• 1 dash orange bitters

Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice. Stir and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
