Cynar Manhattan

Glass Coupe
Method Stirred
Garnish maraschino cherry

Audrey Saunders's modern classic from the Pegu Club — a Manhattan with an Italian accent, where Cynar's artichoke bitterness deepens rye and sweet vermouth into something darkly complex.

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 oz Rye Whiskey
  • 3/4 oz Sweet Vermouth
  • 1/2 oz Cynar

Method

Stir rye, sweet vermouth, and Cynar with ice until well chilled. Fine strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.
