Who I Follow
Manhattan Ingredients: 2.5oz Bourbon or Rye (I used Rye) 0.5oz Sweet Vermouth (Red, I used Rosso) 2 dashes Angostura bitters 1 Maraschino cherry for garnish Directions: Shake, double-strain and garnish Rating: D (below average strong alcoholic classic cocktail, causes a gag reflex 1/4 through) What is happening to the ingredients: The spiciness, tip of tongue tingle, and warming effect of the rye is negated by the sweetness of the sweet vermouth, creating a more smoother drinking experience. The Angostura bitters adds a bitter finish to round out the drink. Can’t say I like this drink. I like the characteristics of the rye and the bitters by themselves. Individually tasting the sweet vermouth I can say that it is the culprit that is ruining the drink. Must retry with a different and NEWLY OPENED bottle of vermouth.
