Manhattan – Olimax' Extreme Lunching

Manhattan

  • 60 ml rye whiskey
  • 60 ml vermouth
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters

Pour the whiskey, vermouth, and bitters into a mixing glass with ice and stir until well-chilled. Strain into a chilled Nick & Nora glass. Drop in a maraschino cherry.

Coming from the similar period and region, Manhattens are considered the Old Fashioned’s sophisticated younger sibling. The sweetness comes not from sugar but sweet vermouth. Served cold, but without ice, it remains undiluted.

Manhattans were immortalised in the 1959 film Some Like It Hot when Marilyn Monroe, as Sugar Kane, mixed them in a hot water bottle for a spontaneous train bunk party.

Although originally made with rye, some prefer bourbon or even, god forbid, Scotch. A complexity arises by an amalgam of whiskey with a vermouth of choice. It’s personal. Your call.
