The Washington Post, May 30, 2007

• • Course: Beverage
• • Features: Fast

Summary:

This variation on the Manhattan -- one of dozens, if not hundreds -- calls for equal parts bourbon and bianco vermouth. Do not confuse the bianco with dry vermouth, which is completely different. Bianco is a style of sweet vermouth.

1 serving

Ingredients:

• • Ice
• • 1 1/2 ounces bourbon
• • 1 1/2 ounces bianco vermouth, preferably Martini & Rossi
• • Lemon peel twist, for garnish

Directions:

Fill two-thirds of a cocktail shaker with ice and add the bourbon and vermouth. Stir vigorously and strain into a martini glass. Twist the lemon peel over the drink to release its essence, then drop it in.
