When in Sydney recently I shot a little how-to with the irrepressible Max Greco at my favorite bar in the Southern Hemisphere, Eau de Vie. This was shot on my iPhone which, while it delivers a fairly acceptable video in some situations, isn't so great in the velvety dimness of the little hideaway, so I apologize for the dodgy quality. I can assure you that Max's cocktail is anything but dodgy, and while Braulio may be difficult to locate (one U.S. source here) your efforts would be rewarded in herb-y, warming spades. Better, still, to go to Sydney and ask Max to make one for you himself. J.R.
THE HIGH ALTITUDE
40ml Rittenhouse rye
20ml Dubonnet
20ml Braulio
Stir till the right dilutions is achieved then strain into a rocks glass with a big chunk of ice. Garnish with orange twist.
