Rye, dry vermouth and Campari: the Negroni’s drier, American cousin.
1927Historical classicResearched
The Old Pal was created at Harry’s New York Bar in Paris and printed in Barflies and Cocktails in 1927. Rye, dry vermouth and Campari make a leaner, more austere drink than the Boulevardier. The name was a familiar Americanism, and the cocktail became a favourite of the Lost Generation.
