From the Bartender

Also called the Irish Manhattan, and printed in American guides from the 1890s onward. Orange bitters rather than Angostura is the correct call — Irish whiskey has nothing to fight Angostura's clove with, and gets flattened by it.

Liberal
Rye Whiskey

Liberal

Bitter orange and gentian threading through the rye and vermouth, drier and more savoury than a Manhattan and considerably longer on the finish.

Preakness
Rye Whiskey

Preakness

Rye pepper and dried fruit up front, then honey, saffron and a dozen herbs from the Bénédictine filling in every gap the vermouth left open.

Waldorf Cocktail
Rye Whiskey

Waldorf Cocktail

Rye spice and vermouth sweetness in familiar proportion, then a cool anise wash across the top that keeps returning after each swallow.

Boulevardier
Bourbon Whiskey

Boulevardier

A bittersweet symphony of herbaceous Campari and silky sweet vermouth wrapped around the warming, spicy depth of bourbon - rich, complex, and deeply satisfying.
