This recipe combines elements from the world's most respected writers of vintage recipes – the base formula comes from Harry Craddock's 1930 The Savoy...

My version of this tonight is a bit of a mashup of what was available…

Aberlour 14yo
Talisker Skye (a dash for some smokiness)
Carpano Antica Formula
Martini Riserva Speciale Rubino
(about 1:1 of the vermouths)
Drambuie
Benedictine
(also about 1:1 of the liqueurs)
Peychauds — dash

I love a good Manhattan but there’s a complexity of flavours to this that makes it just a little bit different — and very enjoyable!

Did a side by side comparison of Cocchi vermouth di Torino and carpano, preferred the latter, tho matching to the scotch will also be a consideration. I used Glenmorangie. Delicious!
