Number Of Ingredients 4

3 ounces Templeton rye
1/2 ounce Dolin dry vermouth
2 dashes Angostura bitters
1 thick strip of lemon peel

Steps:

  • Stir all ingredients except lemon peel with ice in a mixing glass for 30 seconds. Strain into a chilled coupe, whose interior has been rubbed with the lemon peel. Twist lemon peel over the drink and use it as a garnish.

Tips for Making a Rye Manhattan:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the cocktail will be. Look for a good rye whiskey, a sweet vermouth, and a quality bitters.
  • Stir, don't shake. Shaking the cocktail will dilute it and make it cloudy. Stirring will gently combine the ingredients and preserve the texture of the cocktail.
  • Use a large ice cube. A large ice cube will melt more slowly and dilute the cocktail less.
  • Garnish with a rye whiskey-soaked cherry. This will add a touch of sweetness and complexity to the cocktail.

Conclusion:

The Rye Manhattan is a classic cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by everyone. Whether you are a fan of rye whiskey or not, you are sure to enjoy this delicious and refreshing cocktail.
