Man o’ War
The MAN O’ WAR is a delicious bourbon cocktail associated with horse racing. Though largely overshadowed by the bourbon Mint Julep, the Man o’ War often becomes a repeat order after a first taste. It’s a good drink for every...

Stiletto Manhattan
The STILETTO MANHATTAN adds a small portion of Amaretto to whiskey and dry vermouth, creating a dressed-up and well-balanced alternative Manhattan. The small amount of almond-flavored liqueur is just sweet enough to counter the dry vermouth without overpowering it, resulting...
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...
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,...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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,...
Manhattan Minute*
The MANHATTAN MINUTE is self-created and is offered to the home bartender as a Manhattan substitute when preparation-time is short or good sweet vermouth is not available. Aperol replaces the sweet vermouth and bitters which comprise a traditional Manhattan, allowing...
