The Toronto cocktail has very few ingredients: Rye, Fernet, Simple Syrup—and depending on who you ask, Angostura bitters. There’s not a bunch of ingredients to hide behind, so the quality and proportions count. I have a good friend who judges bars by how they execute the Toronto—he’s a smart man with impeccable taste!
