Mmm… this is a good drink

Cheers! Great drink indeed! Being a native Kentuckian I do enjoy a good bourbon. My favorite way to have a high quality bourbon is simply neat for slow sipping at the end of a long day though. However, I do love a Manhattan too, thanks for sharing David.

I second the 15 year old Pappy Van Winkle comment above. Very, very nice drink. Although, I’m not sure I would actually mix it with anything but a small splash of water to open it up a bit.

If in Marin Noonan’s at Larkspur landing used to have a very nice selection of Bourbon’s as well. (and Tequilla for that matter). I haven’t been there in a while, but I would assume the bar is still stocked well.

I knew I liked you guys! The Manhattan is by far my favorite drink, and Woodford is hands down the best bourbon for it. It adds a mellow spice to the drink that other bourbons can’t compete with. I’ve tried the higher end $80-a-bottle Woodford, but I honestly didn’t notice an improvement in the quality of the drink over the entry level Woodford.

I usually don’t use a Maraschino cherry when I mix mine; and, instead of bitters, I add two or three thin slices of orange. The rind adds some natural bitter, and the juice from the orange adds some of the sweet the cherry would have added. I always take mine on the rocks, and serve in a Riedel “O” wine tumbler (looks really nice with the orange slices fanned out).

For a pleasant variation, try Fee Bros. orange bitters instead of Angostura.

I got all the ingredients and just made one. Delicious.

One hell of a day and no Martini glasses, so I just used a huge mug, too.

Woodford is good (Derby time fast approaching), but you should try Pappy Van Winkle’s 15 Year Old Family Reserve next time. You might just have a new favorite Bourbon.

That is a fine recipe.

As for ice: a Manhattan “over ice” is ultimately unpleasant, but just a hint of crushed ice can make all the difference.

Ah, Woodford, the undisputed King of Bourbons in my mind. I simply love the stuff, and have a nice Woodford on the rocks pretty much every day when I arrive home from work. I may have to try this Manhattan recipe, but I have serious trouble mixing Woodford considering it is just so damn good on its own.

Good on ‘ya David, for selecting such fine bourbon! As a boy from the good ‘ole south, I am impressed!
