The Tokyo Drift is a modern cocktail that was created by Brad Farran in Raleigh, North Carolina. Named for the third installment in the Fast & Furious movie franchise, the recipe is another take on the classic Manhattan template that calls for Japanese whisky as the base spirit in place of rye and mixes it with sweet vermouth, cardamom liqueur, and herbal Strega liqueur.
Add whisky, sweet vermouth, Cardamaro, and Liquore Strega to a mixing glass.
Fill mixing glass with cubed ice.
Using a bar spoon, stir for 30-45 seconds until well-chilled and slightly diluted.
Using a julep strainer, strain into a Nick & Nora glass.
Garnish with lemon twist.
