CASSIS MANHATTAN



Cassis Manhattan image

With a rye-bourbon split and just enough slightly herbal crème de cassis to sweeten without overpowering, this manhattan variation is spirit-forward, with layered notes of sugar and spice. If you prefer to keep the drink to one type of whiskey, opt for rye and leave out the bourbon. The cocktail will be slightly more spice-forward and boozier in feel. Whatever you do, let the cherry garnish sit until the very end of the drink for an especially flavorful final snack.

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ice
1 ounce rye whiskey
1 ounce bourbon
3/4 ounce sweet vermouth
1/4 ounce crème de cassis
3 to 4 dashes angostura bitters
1 brandied or maraschino cherry, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a cocktail shaker or mixing glass filled with ice, combine the rye whiskey, bourbon, vermouth, crème de cassis and bitters. Stir until well chilled, about 30 seconds, then strain into a Nick and Nora or coupe glass. Garnish with a cherry.

Tips for Making Vermouth Cassis:

  • Select High-Quality Vermouth: Opt for a sweet, red vermouth like Dolin Rouge or Carpano Antica Formula for a rich and flavorful cocktail.
  • Use Fresh Black Currants: If available, use fresh black currants for the cassis syrup to ensure the best flavor. Alternatively, frozen or store-bought cassis can be used.
  • Make Homemade Cassis Syrup: Preparing your own cassis syrup allows for customization of sweetness and flavor. It's easy to make and can be stored for later use.
  • Chill Ingredients and Glassware: Before mixing the cocktail, chill the vermouth, cassis syrup, and coupe glasses to enhance its refreshing taste.
  • Use a Citrus Twist or Garnish: Add a twist of lemon or orange peel or a sprig of mint as a garnish for an extra layer of flavor and visual appeal.

Vermouth Cassis is a classic cocktail that combines the herbal notes of vermouth with the sweet and tart flavors of black currants.
