Christian Heiss created this drink as a tribute to Swiss playwright and author Friedrich Dürrenmatt. On the way to his favorite restaurant, he always stopped at the Diogenes publisher Daniel Keel's and drank a whiskey. Once at the restaurant, he then remained faithful to Bordeaux. The master mixologist then transformed this ritual into this cocktail. Whiskey meets vermouth.

Serving tips: Stir the Dürrematt in a tumbler with ice and garnish with an orange zest.

The dürrenmatt drinks like a liquid dessert, like a sweet that should never end. Each ingredient is clearly recognizable and has its definite place in the flavor picture.
