Sagamore Spirit
Manhattan
The classic Manhattan cocktail, developed in the 19th century, has a storied and curious history, but one thing’s for sure – it needs Rye Whiskey.
The recipe calls for a 2-1-2 build of Rye, Italian vermouth, and bitters. The spice and sweetness from extra corn in the Sagamore Spirit mash bill creates a rich complexity that deepens the flavor of the final cocktail and melds seamlessly with the Angostura bitters.
Sagamore Spirit prefers using Italian vermouth, both due to historical accuracy and its shared notes of vanilla. An easy way to remember the combination? 2-1-2 is Manhattan’s area-code.
