PERFECT BOURBON MANHATTANS



Perfect Bourbon Manhattans image

When this classic cocktail was invented, in the late 1800s, it called for rye. Here, bourbon gets to be the star, and the combination of sweet and dry vermouth makes our version "perfect."

Here, the word "perfect" refers not to the quality of the classic cocktail (though we do love this version), but to the equal amounts of sweet and dry vermouth used to make it.
