Peter Campbell
A go-getter with both eyes on Don Draper’s corner office, Peter Campbell played by Vincent Kartheiser represents a young man struggling with family issues, and disrespect from his superiors. There’s no mystery with this guy – the viewer knows exactly what he wants and how he wants it. That’s why nobody is every surprised when he tears into his bottle of J&B blended scotch before kissing his wife hello. He drinks it on the rocks, or with a twist. When he’s out trying to impress the brass he probably enjoys something a little flashier, like a Manhattan.
Ingredients
1¾ oz Canadian Club rye or Makers Mark bourbon
¾ oz of sweet vermouth
1 dash of aromatic bitters
1 maraschino cherry
Instructions
Pour bitters, liquors over ice in mixing glass. Stir and strain into martini glass, garnish with a maraschino cherry.
Love this article; makes me want to try every single one of these cocktails while watching a Mad Men marathon!
A little surprised we do not see the Moscow Mule taking a supporting role. It was the drink that shifted America from Gin to Vodka (clear spirits only of course). Invented in the ’40s and popular by early ’50s it would fit in quite nicely since its popularity is traced back to a marketing idea – promotional glassware ie. Copper Mug.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 oz Smirnoff vodka
1/2 oz elixir g ginger mix
Fill with lemon lime soda
Garnish with lime wedge
Instructions
Pour vodka & elixir g into copper mug. Fill with lemon lime and garnish
Cheers.

That’s an *acceptable* Old-Fashioned, but Don Draper drinks his the top-shelf way. Rye, not bourbon.
