The NEW YORK MINUTE has several cocktail renditions, my favorite being the recipe published by Difford’s Guide. The drink might have earned its name because it tastes like a Manhattan, a tequila version. It’s fast to prepare because it requires no citrus-squeezing prep. The parallels to a Manhattan are the reposado tequila for whiskey, maraschino for cherries, and the sweet vermouth & bitters which are common to both. It’s fun to distinguish the notes of maraschino, barrel-aged oak and hint of coffee in each sip. It leans on a higher end of the sweetness scale while packing a punch, and makes a great after-dinner drink or an anytime stand-alone drink.
Requirements: tequila reposado, sweet vermouth (Antica Formula preferred), Maraschino liqueur (Luxardo preferred), whiskey barrel-aged bitters (Fee Brothers preferred), simple syrup (optional), 3 coffee beans for garnish
- 1.75 oz. (52.5 ml.) tequila reposado
- 2/3 oz. (20 ml.) sweet vermouth
- 1/2 oz. (15 ml.) Maraschino liqueur
- 1 dash whiskey barrel-aged bitters
- 1 tsp. simple syrup (optional)
- 3 coffee beans for garnish
Stir all ingredients in an ice-filled mixing glass and strain into a chilled coup or martini glass. Top with three coffee beans.
History: It reportedly originates from a mixologist in Melbourne, Australia — Luke Whearty — and later a cocktail bar called Duck & Cover in Copenhagen, Denmark, 2014.
