  1. I'm a big fan of simply substituting the Vermouth with Tawny Port. The other night I made a drink we call The Woodcock. Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey - 2 oz. Cockburn's 20-Year Tawny Port - 3/4 oz. Angostura Bitters - 3 strong dashes Garnish with Maraschino cherry Stir and strain into glass. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/American_Woodcock/id A close friend from Portugal hunts woodcock all over Europe AND he works for the Symington Family. If you aren't familiar with them they own some of the best Port houses (Graham's, Dow's, Cockburn's, Quinda do Vesuvio, Smith Woodhouse, etc.) in the Douro (region where Port is produced). Everything fit perfectly from the concoction to the name to the people partaking in the festivities. We have since made/drank this many times. The Tawny Port is so much more complex than the sweet Vermouth. As a result, the drink takes on a more nutty presence and showcases a lot more depth. (Of course, my opinion.)
