Review:
Classically made with dry vermouth, this vintage cocktail is so much better with bianco vermouth – in which case, ripe pineapple fruitiness and rye whiskey sit harmoniously together in a Manhattan-like cocktail with subtle Peychaud's bitters for the finishing touch.
Variant:
If you don't want serve with a frothy head then then stir instead of shake. Also consider serving on-the-rocks rather than straight-up.
History:
One of several classic cocktails accredited to New York City's Algonquin Hotel in the 1930s. Its true origins are lost in time.
