I started drinking Old Fashioneds last season just because Don Draper makes them look so damn good. I moved on to the Manhattan and a few weeks ago, the NY Times kindly printed a recipe that requires much shopping -- I guarantee that your local liquor store will carry NONE of the liquors called for in the recipe below. And oh, start macerating those cherries in brandy now -- regular maraschinos are unacceptable. But this is definitely worth it, if you can stomach a Manhattan.
Herewith, I share with you a recipe cut and pasted from the New York Times:
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 ounces McKenzie rye whiskey
- 3/4 ounce Carpano Antica vermouth
- 2 dashes Fee Brothers Old Fashion bitters
- 1 teaspoon brandied cherry juice
- 3 brandied cherries, for garnish.
Method
- Combine ingredients in a glass shaker with ice. Stir for 30 seconds and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with cherries.
