Ingredients: 2 dash Angostura Bitters; 15 ml Bénédictine; 45 ml Rye Whiskey; 1 rinse Absinthe; 15 ml Aquavit; 15 ml Cynar

Rye whiskey stirred with aquavit, Cynar and Bénédictine, in a coupe rinsed with absinthe and dashed with Angostura. Dry, herbal and bitter, with a spicy rye backbone.

Frederic Yarm created Day Old Bread in 2023 as a riff on Maks Pazuniak's 100 Year Old Cigar, swapping the dark rum and smoky Islay Scotch for a 3:1 mix of rye whiskey and aquavit. The caraway in the aquavit, together with the rye, gave the drink its name.
