I’ve never had a Manhattan on account for me being to young to drink, but I still have the ratio for a Manhattan as 2-1-2 because that’s the area code for Manhattan in New York City.
One of my favourites. I like it sweet too so usually follow the original Sweet Manhattan recipe from Diffords which allowed for a spoonful of the syrup from the luxardo cherries! Antica Carpano is the best! Once you try it there's no going back
Mmmmm, can we talk about those cherries?! Totally going to make those in my own kitchen. What a gorgeous drink- not even 8am here and I’m planning a cocktail for later now 😂
Good to see some Whistle Pig out there. I was fortunate enough to spend several late nights with Dave Pickerell smoking cigars and drinking whiskey and hearing his stories of the various distilleries he helped fire up.
Steve, I already had set it that I was going to use my Whistle Pig 10 Year Farm store pick at 122 proof since I have never done a cocktail with it and searched your video to remind me of the ratios and I was surprised that you were also using WP 10 year. Thanks and this Manhattan is on you.
I'm a big fan of a recent concoction I made. I don't think it has an official name but I'm loving it. Closest drink relative I can find is a Gin Ricky but it's not exact as there are a few differences. 2oz of Gin, 2oz of Lime Juice, 1oz of Tart Cherry juice and .5 to 1oz of Simple Syrup depending on how sweet you like it. Shake with ice and strain over a nice ice cube and it's an amazing Cherry Limeade flavor. A friend of mine liked it but enjoyed leaving out the simple syrup and putting in a small amount of red bull. Still delicious. Again no name yet but I'm open to suggestions.
Thank you Steve. Just made my first Manhattan with Rittenhouse, dolin rouge and 2 dashes of angostura bitters and 1 dash of orange bitters. Mixed it and poured it in a chilled Zalto white wine glass and damn! What a fine concoction this is, with an amazing nose. This one is going to become part of my cocktails staple.
How is the orange bitters affecting the flavour? I never tried adding it. Does it make it any nicer? I am thinking of buying Boker’s bitters, they say it’s great in a Manhattan.
2:1 ratio ✅ Rye instead of Bourbon ✅ Carpano Sweet Vermouth ✅ Aromatic & Orange Bitters ✅ Brandied Cherry ✅ Chilled Coupe ✅ Best Manhattan Ever ✅ Well Steve, you’ve checked all my boxes for the best Manhattan. Good day mate! (Do you guys still say that? 😉)
you like the sweet vermouth over dry? I tried the dry with both Rittenhouse and WhistlePig... and used woodford bitters.... amazing. with lime and cherry, with cherry juice, barspoon worth....
Just had a couple of manhattans with the missus last night. How topical 😀 I use homemade cherries too. Once I made a jar of my own I could never go back to the store-bought ones. Cheers!
Steve, I’m looking into getting a set of coupe glasses. Which ones do you use and what size do you recommend for this and other coupe served cocktails? Thanks, brother! Awesome Manhattan recipe!
I haven't had a proper one of these in a while, as I keep making a Black Manhattan or Little Italy, but I guess I'm going to have to have one of these tonight. I'll even add the Regans.
Instead of sweet vermouth and the whistle pig. Try going with 3/4 ounce Cabernet and 1/4 simple. The oaky flavor of the wine really brings out the rye.
Steve, What are the measurements on Your Jigger, and where can I find one at??? It seems Jiggers come in different measurements which makes it difficult to make drinks or convert measurements, Thanks...
Jiggers should make it easier, not harder.. my jigger is 30/60ml with finer markings on the inside of the jigger. The OXO jiggers are great: amzn.to/3sMIfHq
Manhattan is one of my all time favorites. Here's a recipe you can try Irish Manhattan 2 oz Irish Manhattan 1 oz sweet vermouth .25 Domaine canton 2 dashes angostura bitters 2 dashes orange bitters
Tried this but with Woodford Rye since I don't have Whistle Pig. Used a cocktail cherry and held the lemon peel. It was pleasant. On another note, I thought the background was fake for a second because it looked so small next to you haha!
I found that for me the best Manhattan I've made, this recipe but I added a bar spoon Luxardo and 3 bar spoons of Cherry Herring. Maybe it's because I don't have any fancy cherries but that's how I add the cherry flavor kick to the drink and it works well.
This looks fantastic. I haven't tried this particular rye but I bet it's good. Concidering the brandied cherries, maybe you should make parallel product alongside the "ThreeFold distilling" products. 😉 Cheers Steve!
I live in Kelowna, BC, Canada (which is the cherry orchard king of the world location). I would LOVE to know how to make "brandied cherries" by actually watching you make them step by step. I never even thought of making such a thing for my drinking shenanigans. Please consider making a short video on your brandied cherry making procedure.
I recently did some Manhattans with my friend 📺🎬 and yes, using rye vs bourbon = TOTALLY DIFFERENT results! And furthermore, also pulled off a perfect manhattan and the "12 bottle bar" styled version. Was an amazing experience. 2-1-2, as many have pointed out is also 5/5. Always forget how effing awesome this cocktail is!
I see you like Whistle Pig Rye 10 for your manhattan. I TOO like Whistle Pig 10. I am always torn on the garnish, go with cherries or an orange peel. With orange bitters, I guess you get the best of both worlds. One nagging question. Are you very tall, do you have a kitchen designed for small people, or are you standing on a box. Curious minds need to know!
If you think that Whistlepig is good, see if you can get hold of a single barrel store pick of it. Massive step in quality for not that much more money. I do accept may be harder to get hold of in Aus
I have been in love with Manhattans since I was a little girl! My Dad would order one and give me the cherry from the drink. 😁 For years it was hard to find a bartender who knew how to make one but that has changed with the resurgence of craft cocktails. I also make my own. BTW I like my Manhattans made with rye and Whistlepig is A favorite. 😊
Really great sipping Rye - wasted in a Manhattan : Bulleit is easily as good at half the price. Also : best Manhattan is perfected - half cocchi do torino, half dolin dry.
Great video Steve!! One observation though.... You're either 6'10" or you're standing on a ladder or you're working in a short person kitchen. I mean look at the relation to that range hood??!?!! 🤷🏼♂️
Since you ask about proportions, when I use 100 proof (50% abv) whiskey in a Manhattan, I like to use equal proportions of whiskey and vermouth. The result is a drink with about the same alcohol content as a 2:1 Manhattan using 80 proof (40 % abv) whiskey, but more of the taste of the vermouth.
Courtesy of Covid I've added a lot of bourbon and whisky on my top shelf (I have a drinking problem; I can't drink it fast enough). I've developed a taste for the Old Fashioned, but I'm intrigued about the Manhattan, except I don't have any Vermouth on my booze shelf. I guess I need to rectify that :) Cheers Steve!
Sir, you've convinced me: need to try this WhistlePig.
Steve, the new bar makes you look like a giant.
Pretty sure he's a big fella
@@rattlehead2199 he said he’s 6’8 lol
Dude you are huge!
Damn! It guess it's not just the bar then.
I’ve never had a Manhattan on account for me being to young to drink, but I still have the ratio for a Manhattan as 2-1-2 because that’s the area code for Manhattan in New York City.
I recently made a Manhattan with Woodford Reserve bourbon and Cocchi di Torino, and it was excellent!
Great to see you're able to get Whistlepig out in Australia, all the way from a little remote farm in Vermont.
Was thinking the same thing!!
And before that, all the way from Alberta!
Love the logic behind "need to eat these delicious cherries so I better make a lot of cocktails with them" 😄 Cheers, Steve!
Love the Manhattan? Make sure you try the Black Manhattan made with Averna! Watch here: th-cam.com/video/kx7KaY8fPsw/w-d-xo.html
Fabulous cocktail!!
Manhattan for the win
Can never go wrong with a Manhattan! I also make my own brandies cherries. They make great Christmas gifts too
Great Video! Such an improvement over your first Manhattan instructional video!! Cheers to you!!!
Black walnut bitters works great especially with the antica formula vermouth. Love it!
One of my favourites. I like it sweet too so usually follow the original Sweet Manhattan recipe from Diffords which allowed for a spoonful of the syrup from the luxardo cherries!
Antica Carpano is the best! Once you try it there's no going back
I enjoy a Manhattan very much. Can't wait to try the WhistlePig 10 year.
A whistlepig Piggyback rye old fashioned with chocolate bitters is amazing. Had one last week at a restaurant.
Carpano Antica is the game changer for this one. Excellent drink.
Mmmmm, can we talk about those cherries?! Totally going to make those in my own kitchen. What a gorgeous drink- not even 8am here and I’m planning a cocktail for later now 😂
Proper planning produces perfect cocktails!! (The PPPPC rule...)
Thanks man. I’m a massive fan of the stirred down whiskey classics. Good to see the Manhattan back on the screen.
Right on time! I was just looking for Manhattan recipes a day or two ago. 😁
Good to see some Whistle Pig out there. I was fortunate enough to spend several late nights with Dave Pickerell smoking cigars and drinking whiskey and hearing his stories of the various distilleries he helped fire up.
My favorite cocktail. Cherry bitters is a great change of pace.
I just tried it with some black walnut bitters, and I can recommend for sure.
Those cherries look fantasstic
DAVID!!!!!!
Love your stuff! Most of the cocktails I’ve learned to make have come from your channel. Thanks a lot for the great content and cocktails!

I used Carpano Antica, Angostura and decided to go with Chocolate bitters instead of the orange. It is delicious.
Can you do a video on your brandied cherries recipe, please? I have a good one but would love to try something new.
My Choice is Canadian Rye!!! This drink is so good that using the same ingredients but different styles make a completely different drink.
As far as I know, the WhistlePig 10 is 100% sourced from Alberta Distillers Limited
Can't have too many Manhattans, and Whistle Pig is a GREAT choice! Cheers Steve!

It's amazing to know that you can use many brands to make 1 simple drink.

Manhattan is one of my all time favorites. Here's a recipe you can try
Irish Manhattan

is there a video for the brandied cherries?
Hi I am from Japan I really like your cocktails how can I get a recipe book from you do you have one we have to contact can you tell me please
Thank you! My book will be published November 15th.. you can subscribe to be notified if it’s release here: bit.ly/STB-cocktail-book

I mean… since you’re using up all the brandy’d cherries, might as well make new batch/video it right?

How long does a bottle of sweet vermouth last once opened?
Need to keep in the fridge. At least a month, but I’ve kept them for longer…
This will answer your question: th-cam.com/video/6eCm34nwSO4/w-d-xo.html
Dude. Whistle Pig. So good. Best Manhattan I've ever had was with the 12 year rye. Also the most expensive.
What happened to the old bar?
That was located in my warehouse which we moved out of.... new studio is only a week away!
Steve comes through with the goods

I don't always drink Manhattans, but when I do, I make sure my bartender is 11 feet tall. Also I make sure he uses my fav rye and fav vermouth
Really great sipping Rye - wasted in a Manhattan : Bulleit is easily as good at half the price.
Also : best Manhattan is perfected - half cocchi do torino, half dolin dry.
The cost of that Whistlepig in Aus might frighten me.
It’s $150 in Ontario, Canada…
