I'm calling it the "Los Angeles".

What is it and how is it tiki?

It is 1.5 oz Woodland Ridge Bourbon
.5 oz Sweet Vermouth
and
.25 oz Senior Curacao. Yep, that is the tiki part.

Plus, remember to put a few twists of bitters- I use orange Fees and Anagostora. And, remember the cherry. Pour over ice, stir and drain into a glass.

So, it has no rum, but not every tiki drink does. Plus, Los Angeles is another tiki connection.

Angelinos, it is time Manhattan pay its due regards.

The Senior Curacao is a strong compliment to this very famous drink. Orange goes so well with bourbon.

Let me know what you think and how it might be improved.

It's time Los Angeles has its own drink.
