Hi, I’m Greg. This is How to Drink. I’ve never worked in a bar. I’ve had a position as a barback. Been a bar apprentice. I’ve been in bars. I’ve been in a lot of bars. This is How to Drink, show about making cocktails and drinking them. Let’s get going.
Let’s make a Manhattan. It’s a classic. And the key to a good one is, of course, using real rye whiskey. For this, I like a Michter’s Rye. And I’m gonna use a Dolin Vermouth. Dolin Vermouth, I’m not sure how you pronounce it. It’s the second one? It’s Dolin. I’m gonna use this Dolin Vermouth. And I like these chocolate bitters from Bittermens. We’re gonna use these. These mole bitters. Stirred drink, so we’re gonna need our mixing glass. We’re just gonna crack a couple of ice cubes right in here.
We’re gonna use 2 ounces of rye whisky for this drink. Right in there. You gonna use 1 ounce of Dolin Vermouth. I don’t know if I believe that. I think it’s Dolin. Dolin Vermouth, 1 ounce. And dashes of this. There’s one, two. Two dashes there of our chocolate bitters. We’re gonna stir this drink. And I’m gonna strain that.
Couple different ways you can garnish this, but I personally like a Luxardo Maraschino Cherry. This drink was famously handed out at Ellis Island when people first got to New York. That’s why it’s called a Manhattan. You got off the boat young, old, sick, and healthy alike. Here’s a Manhattan. Welcome to the island. Thanks for coming. Hope you like it here. That’s a little bit a true history for ya’. And let’s see if I did this one all right, and it turns out I did.
That is a very fine Manhattan. Has a really nice finish. The chocolate bitters, they kinda kick in in the aftermath. That’s a good Manhattan. If you’ve been following along at home, you’ve got a really nice drink in your hands and cheers. Thanks for watching How to Drink. If you like the show, I’d appreciate it if you subscribe.
