Review:

Stirred and spirit-forward and Manhattan / Brooklyn-like. Rye whiskey-based with aromatised wine complexity and apricot brandy adding flavoursome fruity richness. A delightful late-night sipper.

History:

The house Manhattan for the opening menu of her Clover Club bar, which sits a couple of neighbourhoods away from Park Slope in Brooklyn's Carrol Gardens.

Our 6:2:1 formula is courtesy of G. M. Genovese, a fellow Discerning Drinker, in November 2023. The original spec called for a whopping 75ml (1½oz rye whiskey, 22.5ml (¾oz) Punt E Mes, 10ml (⅓oz) apricot brandy, and 1 dash aromatic bitters.
