Tips
- Chill the rye, Cognac, vermouth, and water before mixing to help the batch set faster and pour more smoothly.
- Stir the batch well before adding it to the machine so the syrup and spirits are evenly combined.
- Use chilled glasses to keep the texture intact from the first pour to the last sip.
- If making ahead, keep the mixed base refrigerated and give it a quick stir before loading the machine.
