This week is the big daddy of classics: The Manhattan. It can be done with Canadian Whisky, Bourbon, and Rye. It is just perfection, the right balance of ingredient and depending on the whisky the flavors can vary greatly, but always a great drink.
Recipe
- 2/3 Canadian Whisky (70's version)
- 1/3 Sweet Vermouth
- 1 dash Angostura (bitter)
This week coctail is the Stinger, it lacks something, no big effect, maybe a higher quality Brandy or a dash of orange bitter would work.
Recipe
- 2/3 Brandy
- 1/3 Cream de Mint (white)
Our next coctail is Mary Pickford, a good coctail, on the sweet side, great for parties, easy to drink.
Recipe
1/2 White Rhum
1/2 Pineapple Juice
1 teaspoon of Grenadine
6 dashes of Maraschino
