A La Louisiane Cocktail
This cocktail, a variation of the Vieux Carré, features rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, Benedictine, absinthe, and Peychaud’s bitters. Stirred and strained, it is garnished with Luxardo cherries. The absinthe adds a distinctive touch.
Vieux Carré Cocktail
The Vieux Carré cocktail, originating from New Orleans in the 1930s, features a blend of rye whiskey, Armagnac, sweet vermouth, Benedictine, and bitters. Despite differing pronunciations, it remains a popular choice. The process involves mixing the ingredients with ice and garnishing with a Luxardo cherry. The debate over pronunciation adds an interesting touch to its history.
Classic Martini Cocktail
The classic martini cocktail is a departure from extravagant concoctions, embracing simplicity and tradition. With gin (or vodka), dry vermouth, and a dash of orange bitters, it offers a refreshing twist. Shaken and served with a lemon twist, this timeless drink is a must-try for those seeking a clean, classic martini experience.
French Manhattan Cocktail
Here is a recipe for my version of the French Manhattan. This calls for Cognac, sweet vermouth, Grand Marnier and bitters.
Vesper Martini Cocktail
The Vesper Martini, a cocktail from James Bond’s Casino Royale, is traditionally made with Gordon’s gin, vodka, Kina Lillet, and garnished with lemon peel. However, modern versions often use substitutes like Lillet Blanc with aromatic bitters due to the discontinuation of Kina Lillet. The cocktail is usually shaken over ice to dilute the strong liquor content, which includes 2 ounces of gin, 1 ounce of vodka, and 1/2 ounce of Lillet Blanc.
American Trilogy Cocktail
The American Trilogy is a modern cocktail, first conceived in 2007. It is distinctive for its use of Apple Jack or Apple Brandy, the first distilled spirit in the US, and Rye whiskey, the original American whiskey. The recipe calls for some modification in the quantity of rye whiskey based on personal preference for a stronger cocktail. The unique ingredients combined with a splash of ginger ale and orange bitters make it a compelling drink.
Black Manhattan Cocktail
OneFoodie has been experimenting with various cocktail recipes, particularly focusing on Manhattan cocktails. After several attempts with different mixtures, the author found the Perfect Manhattan too sweet and the Dry Manhattan not sweet enough. An accidental creation of the Brooklyn cocktail by adding cherry liqueur was enjoyable but the Black Manhattan cocktail, with its use of Amaro, a sweet but not too sweet substitute for vermouth, was identified as the perfect drink suiting the author’s preference.
Dry Manhattan (Brooklyn) Cocktail
My recent preference for savory, booze-forward cocktails, such as the Manhattan. I found the original version too sweet, the Perfect Manhattan slightly less so, and the Dry Manhattan needing some sweetness in the form of Luxardo cherry juice. The cocktail dates back to the mid-1800s and includes rye whiskey, dry vermouth, bitters, and cherry juice, garnished with Luxardo cherries.
Perfect Manhattan Cocktail
The “Perfect Manhattan” cocktail, an homage to the Perfect Martini, uses equal parts of sweet and dry vermouth instead of only sweet vermouth utilized in a traditional Manhattan. It adds complexity and nuance to the drink. The cocktail requires rye whiskey, both vermouths, Angostura bitters, Luxardo cherry juice and garnish, along with a lemon twist.
