Bitters / Daily Mix / Maraschino / Tequila / Mezcal / Vermouth (sweet & dry)

New York Minute

The NEW YORK MINUTE has several cocktail renditions, my favorite being the recipe published by Difford’s Guide. The drink may have earned its name because it tastes like a tequila version of a Manhattan. It’s quick to prepare since it...

Aperol/Campari/Cynar / Daily Mix / Maraschino / Vermouth (sweet & dry) / Whiskey (blended)

Bensonhurst

If you’re in the mood for a Manhattan, but would like a tasty variation, the BENSONHURST is a must-try. This cocktail replaces the sweet vermouth of a classic Manhattan with dry vermouth. Splashes of maraschino liqueur and the Italian aperitif,...

Bitters / Bourbon / Creme de Cacao / Daily Mix / Maraschino / Vermouth (sweet & dry)

Manhattan Sweet w/ Bitter Chocolate

The MANHATTAN SWEET W/ BITTER CHOCOLATE adds a teaspoon of crème de cacao and maraschino liqueur, along with a dash of chocolate bitters, to the classic Manhattan. This addition perfectly complements the bourbon and vermouth with nuanced hints of chocolate...

Bitters / Daily Mix / Maraschino / Tequila / Mezcal / Vermouth (sweet & dry)

Mezcal Manhattan

The MEZCAL MANHATTAN pairs agave-derived mezcal perfectly with sweet vermouth and bitters, just as a regular Manhattan pairs whiskey with sweet vermouth and bitters. The mezcal provides a slightly smoky profile which the sweet vermouth softens, while the orange peel...

Bitters / Bourbon / Daily Mix / Throwback Thursday / Vermouth (sweet & dry) / Whiskey (blended)

Manhattan

Like the martini, the MANHATTAN can be custom-mixed by preference or mood. Those who are opposed to the sweeter version can choose a rye whiskey or dry vermouth. The classic version allows your choice of bourbon, rye or Canadian whiskey...

Absinthe/Anise/Anisette / Bitters / Daily Mix / Throwback Thursday / Vermouth (sweet & dry) / Whiskey (blended)

Waldorf

The WALDORF cocktail hearkens back to the early 1900’s and gives the traditional rye Manhattan an absinthe accent. The original mix was very boozy with equal parts absinthe-rye-vermouth, but has been modified for today’s drinker by reducing the absinthe and...

New York Minute

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...

Bourbon / Cointreau (orange liqueur) / Curacao / Daily Mix / Vermouth (sweet & dry)

Man o’ War

The MAN O’ WAR is a delicious bourbon cocktail associated with horse racing. Though it’s largely overshadowed by the bourbon Mint Julep, once it’s tried for the first time the Man o’ War becomes a cocktail repeater. It’s a good...

Bitters / Daily Mix / Seasonal Sunday / Vermouth (sweet & dry) / Whiskey (blended)

Paddy Wagon

When transported across the Irish Sea from Scotland to Ireland, the Rob Roy magically transforms into a PADDY WAGON (a.k.a., Paddy Cocktail). Instead of the Rob Roy’s scotch & vermouth combo, Irish whiskey & vermouth make the Paddy Wagon. Taste-wise,...

Amaretto / Daily Mix / Vermouth (sweet & dry) / Whiskey (blended)

Stiletto Manhattan

The STILETTO MANHATTAN adds a small portion of Amaretto to whiskey and dry vermouth. In the process, it creates a dressed up and well-balanced alternative Manhattan. The small amount of almond-flavored liqueur is just sweet enough to counter the dry...
