Youth, If we can cobble together a fanlax tailgate this spring, I'll make you one of these. Delish. I actually skip the extra dose of bitters because the Braulio hits those notes. But the orange and lemon peel are a must. Good twist on an old fashioned.youthathletics wrote: ↑Mon Nov 29, 2021 9:09 pmI’ll have to try the Red Hook. Ever had a Reverse Manhattan?ggait wrote: ↑Mon Nov 29, 2021 8:15 pmI really like the Red Hook variation on a Manhattan -- rye, Punt e Mes, marischino liquer (Leopold's is excellent).I almost exclusively use Rittenhouse BIB 100 Proof Rye for cocktails. It cuts through almost anything, so you still know you're drinking American whiskey. Tonight is Faux Friday. I am having a Black Manhattan. Substituting Ramazotti Amaro for Sweet Vermouth and adding Fee Bros. Orange Bitters in addition to Angostura. Over a big cube. Wife is driving us to dinner.
Price and availability of Rittenhouse is not as good as a few years ago. Even though a bourbon, I think WT 101 is a fine rye substitute for Rittenhouse in a Manhattan, Red Hook, Brooklyn, etc.
I make a Tom Ford, which is 2oz rye, 1oz of Carpano Antica, lux cherry, and orange bitters, with an orange peel swipe on the rim and twist garnished.
