 The Manhattan
Noora's classic Manhattan Cocktail... with a psychometric twist
Not Dead Yet, Chapter 13Â Â - Trials and Tribulations
​
-
2 oz (60 ml) rye whiskey

-
2 dashes Angostura bitter

​
Elegant, boozy, and completely uninterested in subtlety, the Manhattan is a classic for a reason.
Rye whiskey brings the bite, sweet vermouth smooths the edges, and a few dashes of bitters keep the whole thing properly civilised.
Stirred cold and served straight up, it is sophisticated enough for polite company and strong enough for when polite company has become exhausting.
The Manhattan cocktail originated in New York City during the 1870s or 1880s, most famously linked to the Manhattan Club.Â
