The Woodsman Tavern's Hunting Vest

Ingredients

• 1 ounce campari 
• 1 serving campari 
• 1 serving ice cubes 
• 1 small lemon zest 
• 3 cups fries dry (or planks broken into pieces)
• 0.8 ounce rye flakes 
• 0.3 ounce cooking sherry 
• 1 ounce mirin dry french

Equipment

• cheesecloth
• canning jar

Directions

1. Char the wood until well-blackened. Chop up into pieces small enough to fit inside a one quart mason jar. Fill jar with wood chips, cover with Campari, seal and set aside 2 weeks.
2. After 14 days, strain liquid through cheesecloth three times. This will yield you plenty of cedar-steeped Campari for future cocktails, and also tastes just fine alone on the rocks.
3. Add cedar-steeped Campari, rye, shery, and vermouth to a mixing glass.
4. Add ice halfway to the top of liquids. Stir quickly, just long enough to briefly dilute the ice.
5. Strain into chilled champagne coupe. Finish with lemon twist.
