Connor’s “go-to” Manhattan ingredient list:
- Bourbon or Rye Whiskey
- A non-wheated or more “rye” forward Bourbon is preferred (i.e. not Weller, Larceny, etc.)
- Connor likes high-quality, low-mid to mid-priced labels that are readily available / easy to find for my Manhattans (such as, Four Roses Yellow Label, Elijah Craig, Woodford Reserve, Knob Creek (Bourbon), Evan Williams Single Barrel, Templeton Rye) – I save the Buffalo Trace, Weller, Eagle Rare, Henry McKenna, etc. for sipping, not mixing
- Sweet Vermouth
- Connor’s pick: Carpano Antica Formula or Carpano Punt e Mes
- Bitters
- Angostura Aromatic bitters are my classic, but feel free to get creative here to add some expression to the cocktail (for example, I used cranberry bitters around the holidays)
- Cherries
- Please, please, please don’t just use a “run-of-the-mill” maraschino cherry – this isn’t a Shirley Temple
- Connor’s pick: Luxardo Brand , Fabbri Amarena, or Bada Bing
- Martini Glass or Rocks (lowball) Glass
Accompaniments / Snacks:
- Spiced nuts
- Pretzels
- Crackers
- Sharper cheeses
- Buffalo Chicken Dip
- Flatbreads
- If a meal: steak, chops, pasta
