The Manhattan
We’re off to New York for this weeks episode so could it really be anything other than the ultimate classic Manhattan.
Now everyone will have their own preference on this, full rye, full bourbon, 50/50, 60/40 one way, then the other. Find what balance suits you and don’t let anyone tell you different!
1 ½ oz Bourbon
½ oz Rye
1 oz Red Vermouth
1 dash Angostura Bitters
Stir everything with ice and strain, it’s a simple as that.
It is a classic for a reason, perfectly balanced and absolutely delicious, the granddaddy of so many cocktails.
Try to aim for a 2oz total for your bourbon/rye combo; I suggest making many to find out exactly what your preference is! Enjoy!
