I have never had a Manhattan, lol. I bought this specifically for that reason. Recipe suggestions?

2.5 oz Rittenhouse Rye (or something else not too herbal and at least 100 proof)

.75 oz Carpano

2-3 dashes Angostura bitters

Garnish with a Luxardo or Amarena Fabbri cherry.

Stir until ice cold.

The area code for Manhattan is 212, which makes it easy to remember the base recipe:

2oz rye whiskey or high rye bourbon
1oz Carpano Antica
2 dashes Angostura bitters

Start with this, then adjust to your taste.

That stuff is so good. If you like bitter, try a Boulevardier as well! Delicious.

Another one to try is a Martinez (if you like gin). I make a big one :

2oz dry gin
2oz Carpano Antica
0.5oz Luxardo
2 dashes Angostura

This is the way

Tasty! I want to try it with Willet and maybe Makers 46 cask strength next time?
I took the big bottle of Carpano back and exchanged for the small bottle. I didn't realize vermouth goes bad so quickly. Also, went with the Luxardos this time. Although, I think I prefer the Fabbri Amarenas. Cheers! Thanks for the tips!

Oh yeah, the stainless steel cocktail picks are on the way (4 & 6 inch). I can't believe I didn't have those!

They should show that video at Weight Watchers meetings. Nobody would ever want to eat ice cream again.

I was drinking St. Germain cocktails last night and was surprised how refreshing they were. Perfect way to settle the stomach after a Beef Wellington.

2oz St. Germain Liqueur
2oz Prosecco
1.5 oz club soda

Stirred in a Collins glass and garnished with a lemon peel.

 

[megarises]

Cranberry Moscow mule, nothing crazy. Go Packers!!!

Dirty vodka martini with pickled green beans. Learned this while in New Orleans many years ago. Yum!

 

[SteveEH]

Perfect Martini (Gin).

Next time I'll make the lemon twist bigger as I enjoyed it more when I got to the bottom of the glass.

I’m curious of the color, what is in it? And do you rim the glass with the lemon?

1.5 oz gin
.75 sweet vermouth
.75 dry vermouth
1 dash Angostura bitters

Yes I rimmed it but the lemon really kicked in when I got closer to it at the bottom

Forgot - 1 dash if Angostura bitters

My wife asked for a drink, but not an old fashioned. So I through this together, and damn is it good.

I muddled fresh ginger slices with orange bitters. Added ice, vodka, contreau, lemon juice, and simple syrup. I had to "stir" vs "shake" because my soon to be DIL borrowed my bartending equipment.

I strained it, and added it to a frosted glass. It may now be a favorite drink of Colleens. It was very good!

Mmmmmm

I may have to put you on bartender duty for a round when you are down here in March.
