Ingredients: 2 dash Orange Bitters; 45 ml Scotch; 11 ml Campari; 11 ml Zucca; 23 ml Port Wine

Stirred Scotch with port, Campari and Zucca makes a bittersweet drink with dark fruit from the port and a touch of orange bitters. Created by Frederic Yarm in Boston in 2019.

Frederic Yarm created the Preceptor in Boston in 2019 as a variation on the Chancellor, a Scotch and port drink from the 1956 Esquire Drinks book, adding Campari and rhubarb amari such as Zucca and Sfumato. Phil Ward's port-based Negroni variation Baltasar and Blimunda served as inspiration, and the name continues the academic theme of the Chancellor.
