For you naysayers out there, adjust your vermouth with a bit of Bonal gentiane-quina... and choose Bittered Sling "Kensington" bitters--which has a hint of celery seed. Finished with a lemon twist, this Dry Manhattan sings:

DRY MANHATTAN w/ Rye Whiskey
(Coupe glass, chilled)
~ 0.50 Dry vermouth (Dolin)
~ 0.50 Bonal Gentiane-quina
~ 1-dsh Kensington bitters (Bittered Sling)
~ 2.00 Rye whiskey (James E. Pepper; Rittenhouse + Sagamore)
Stir. Strain in to a chilled coupe.
~ Swath of Lemon, expressed.

If you have a wet palate, this is masochism. Probably the cocktail I regret making the most. This will be a struggle to drink...

We thought this was outstanding as an evening sipper. Like the spirit forwardness of the cocktail as well as being very, very dry. I find Manhattans a little sweet, but this was perfect for me. Not for the shy or casual drinker.
