stevegoz Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 · Hidden Hidden Read Julian Van Winkle's Manhattan recipe in foodie journal Lucky Peach today. If memory serves, it calls for four ounces of Pappy 15, a sugar cube, Angostura bitters, a small slice of orange and ice. (Definitely no vermouth.)If anyone wants the exact recipe, lemme know and I will hunt it down and post. Link to comment
yountvillewjs Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I have been experimenting with the apple brandy. For my tastes, it works best in straight bourbon Manhattans. I prefer rye-based Manhattans, the apple flavors tend to muddle and mask the spiciness I really enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CADMixes Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I've messed around with many Diamondback variants since the drink was first made for me a couple years ago, and I have to say the one in the PDT Cocktail Book, while unorthodox, might be my favorite:2 oz. Rittenhouse BIB.5 oz. Laird's BIB.5 oz. Yellow Chartreuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongBeachScott Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 2 oz Rittenhouse 1003/4 oz Noilly Prat rouge vermouth1 splash Fee Brothers Orange Bitters5 or 6 Large ice cubesShake violently for about a minute. You have to really get the air in there. You need large ice cubes so they don't break up and water it down too much.Strain over 2 large clear ice cubes and garnish with an orange slice. Even better, a blood orange slice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rittenhouse BIB.5 oz. Laird's BIB.5 oz. Yellow ChartreuseI ended up making the top recipe on Friday and, for me the, .75 of Chartreuse defintely overpowered the Rit.I made another go of it on Saturday and think I dialed it in pretty good for my tastes.I settled on the following 2.5oz Ritt1oz Lairds.5oz Green ChartrueseThis was pretty balanced and allowed the Ritt to remain at the forefront where it was rounded out by the Lairds and Chartreuese.I had never had a Diamondback but, must say I definitely enjoyed this one very much. I will definitely be making a few more of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this basically a 'perfect'? What does the Dolin Dry add? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidity Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Great recipe -- looking forward to trying it. Is this basically a 'perfect'? What does the Dolin Dry add?A "perfect manhattan" includes equal parts sweet and dry vermouth. You can actually make any cocktail that requires sweet vermouth "perfect" by using equal parts sweet and dry vermouth; it's not specific to manhattans.
