THREE EQUAL PARTS

Someone from Libation Lab has figured it out, in a venn diagram! It doesn’t get much easier than this: equal measures of three ingredients to make these four fantastic cocktails from only six bottles.

Stir ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass or an old fashioned glass with a big cube of ice. Garnish with an orange twist.

Bijou: 1 ounce Green Chartreuse, 1 ounce gin, 1 ounce dry vermouth, dash of orange bitters
Boulevardier: 1 ounce rye, 1 ounce Campari, 1 ounce sweet vermouth
Dry Negroni: 1 ounce Campari, 1 ounce gin, 1 ounce dry vermouth
Negroni: 1 ounce Campari, 1 ounce gin, 1 ounce sweet vermouth
Note: This has been updated since it was pointed out that a bijou is made with sweet vermouth and not dry, so in reconfiguring the original design, the Vieux Carré was dropped. It was a stretch on the theme, but also delicious without the benedictine, bitters or lemon twist:

Vieux Carré: 1 ounce rye, 1 ounce cognac, 1 ounce sweet vermouth, 1 teaspoon of benedictine, 2 dashes orange bitters, and is garnished with a lemon twist).
