Old Pal

Old Pal is a French cocktail made with a combination of Canadian whiskey, Campari, and dry vermouth. In order to prepare it, all ingredients should be stirred with ice, then strained into a cocktail glass filled with ice. If desired, this dry and bitter drink can be garnished with an orange slice.

It is believed that the first mention of Old Pal appeared in Harry MacElhone’s 1922 book called ABC of Mixing Cocktails, where he credits the editor of the New York Herald, Sparrow Robertson, for the invention of this cocktail.
