Lynette's Cocktail and Menu

Lynette

Saturday 15 May 2010

Tenacious and strong, she knows what she wants does our Mrs Scavo. So this well-made, no-nonsense stiff drink is just the job.

Indeed, there's certainly no messing around with legendary bartender and mixologist Tony Conigliaro's Vintage Manhattan recipe.

Vintage Manhattan

The Vintage Manhattan cocktail

Ingredients:

40ml bourbon
20ml sweet vermouth
Dash of Maraschino
Dash of Peychaud Bitters
Dash of Angostura Bitters

Method:

Now, the serious part of this drink is that the ingredients (except for the Maraschino) are aged in a bottle for up to six months.

After this time, measure out 60ml from the aged bottle and stir in a Boston shaker over ice, adding the Maraschino.

Double strain into a cocktail glass.
