Chef's Notes
Treat your ingredients with the respect of a crowned head of state. Averna brings a citrusy, caramel backbone that plays magnificently with the spicy kick of a reliable rye whiskey.
Pro Tip
Always chill your coupe glass in the freezer beforehand! A warm glass is the sworn enemy of a properly crafted Manhattan.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
You get distracted chatting about royal gossip, over-dilute the drink by stirring it for three straight minutes, and end up serving a bitter, watery disappointment that tastes like melted sadness.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the whiskey file a police report? Because it was brutally assaulted by a bunch of ice cubes!
The Culinary Science
Stirring a cocktail with ice rather than shaking it lowers the temperature while gently melting just enough water to soften the alcohol burn without turning your drink into a sad puddle.
