Manhattan

By Tristan

If pushed for my favourite cocktail in the world, I’ll answer ‘Manhattan’ about 25% of the time. A sweet Manhattan with marischino does just about everything that I need a cocktail to do, upfront complex flavours, long winey finish with a sour cherry longing, which makes me want more!

Glass: Martini
Garnish: Marischino cherry or orange zest

  • 50ml Bulleit Bourbon
  • 25ml Red Vermouth
  • 5ml Gomme (Syrup from the marishino cherry jar is even better)
  • 1 dash Angostura Bitters

      • Stir down over large cubes of ice then strain into a chilled glass.

      If you prefer your Manhattan dry then replace the sweet vermouth with dry and take out the sugar.
