The Manhattan is a classic cocktail of choice for a true whiskey-lover. This delightful mix of rye or bourbon, sweet vermouth, and bitters has been adored for hundreds of years because of its subtle bitterness and herbal undertones. Seasoned drinkers are able to pick up on the hint of sweetness from sweet vermouth and the caramel-like aroma of  our award-winning Ammunition Rye. What brings this cocktail to the next level is the backing of our very own Ammunition Pinot. We call it the ‘double barrel effect’ as the drink calls back to the fact that we finish our rye in our own pinot barrels. The only question now is what’s the over/under that you make another?

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces Ammunition Straight Rye Whiskey
  • 1/2 ounce Cappelletti Amaro Sfumato
  • 1/2 ounce sweet vermouth, preferably Cocchi di Torino
  • 1/2 ounce Greenbar Poppy Amaro
  • 1/2 ounce Ammunition Pinot Noir
  • lemon twist, garnish

Directions

Step 1

Add all ingredients to a mixing glass, add ice, and stir.

Step 2

Strain into a Nick & Nora glass and garnish with a lemon twist.

Note

You can also supplement the Pinot for our Cab, our Equalizer red blend, or a decent Sherry.
