The Corduroy: A Rye and Cardamaro Cocktail
I created the Corduroy when we were looking for some cozy, uncomplicated yet still nuanced comfort. This rye and Cardamaro cocktail is incredibly quick and easy to make but has a nice complexity due to the magic of Cardamaro.

Notes
- If you like, you can batch this drink for a party. To make eight drinks, up to 24 hours before serving time, combine in a pitcher: 2 cups rye, 1 ½ to 2 cups Cardamaro, 16 dashes (2 teaspoons) orange bitters, and ½ cup water. Give it a stir, cover, and chill. At serving time, divide among ice-filled rocks glasses and garnish each with an orange twist.
