Happy Hour Drink Special: The Oriental Cocktail

The Oriental Cocktail’s balanced mix of rye, sweet vermouth, orange curaçao, and fresh lime juice is the ideal antidote to April’s cruelty (well, at least the part that involves doing taxes).

Thanks for the print lede, I was able to see this included ingredients I had around. Now that I've watched and made it (using blue curaçao), I must say it's quite tasty! (It's hard to find a drink where the blue curaçao isn't overpowering). I found another version online that omits the lime juice, but I can't imagine it's as good that way.
Another old cocktail worthy of resurrection.
