The Manhattan Project: Rebuilding a Classic

The key lies in the balance of whiskey, vermouth, and bitters, each component a brick in the storied edifice of flavor.

  • Start with a high-quality bourbon, rich in rye content for that signature spice.
  • Vermouth should whisper, not shout; a dash to complement, not compete.
  • A few dashes of aromatic bitters to tie the room together, like a well-chosen rug.
The true artistry comes in the stir. A gentle, yet confident, swirl coaxes the ingredients to dance harmoniously, rather than mosh in a frenzied pit.

Whether served in a speakeasy or a suburban backyard, the reconstructed Manhattan remains an enduring emblem of cocktail culture.

  • Pour in two ounces of your favorite bourbon.
