The Toronto first appeared in print in 1922, replacing the Manhattan’s vermouth with the darker, more intensely herbaceous Fernet-Branca.

2 oz rye whisky (Canadian, of course)

0.25 oz Fernet-Branca

0.25 oz simple syrup

2 dashes Angostura bitters

Garnish: orange twist

Pour the rye whisky, Fernet-Branca, simple syrup and bitters into a mixing glass with ice and stir until well-chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass and garnish with an orange twist. Serves 1.
