About This Cocktail

The Manhattan is an outstanding freezer batch candidate. Using the Milk Street method, pour off just 4.5oz from a bottle of rye, add vermouth and cherry syrup. The cold temperature tames the rye's spice beautifully.

How to Serve

Pour into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass. Garnish with a brandied cherry.

Pro Tips

  • + Ensure the vermouth is fresh - open less than 4-6 weeks
  • + Rye whiskey is traditional, but bourbon works beautifully too
  • + The bitters bloom over time - don't overdo it
  • + Serve in a chilled Nick & Nora or coupe glass

Avoid These Mistakes

  • - Using oxidized vermouth
  • - Over-pouring bitters
