The iconicManhattan—a stirred mix of whiskey, vermouth, and bitters— is easily one of the most riffed-upon cocktails. This variation from Audrey Saunders of Pegu Club in NYC starts with rye and vermouth, then adds Cynar amaro to appealing effect.

Ingredients

Makes 1 cocktail

2 oz rye whiskey
¾盎司甜苦艾酒
½ oz. Cynar amaro
2 Luxardo maraschino cherries, skewered on a cocktail pick, for garnish

  1. In an ice-filled mixing glass, combine all the ingredients except the garnish. Stir well, and rain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with the cherries.

  • Good recipe, if you follow the metric amounts. I've been making it for years. It's from the Cynar label . . .

  • This recipe calls for 20ml sweet vermouth, which is 2/3 oz. Thirty ml is 1 oz. so 20 ml has to be 2/3 oz. ♀️ I checked on Difford’s Website and its recipe calls for 3/4 oz. vermouth. I think we will be fine using 2/3 oz. or 3/4 oz. but definitely not the 1/4 oz.

  • The drink takes 3/4 oz Sweet Vermouth, not 1/4 oz.

  • Your math is incorrect. If 30 ml equals 1 oz, 1 quarter of that is 7.5 ml not 20 ml.

克罗ver Club
While the Clover Club cocktail may have originated in the 1890s at the Bellevue Hotel in Philadelphia, where the social organization that lends the drinks its name would carouse, it’s very much a drink of the 20th century. It was then that the famously pink drink became a cultural phenomenon beyond a small set of Philly-area lawyers and business folk. It arrived in New York perhaps thanks to hotelier George Boldt, who operated both the Bellevue and the new Waldorf-Astoria. His other culinary cla.…
