Manhattan
Recipe courtesy of Mark Bitterman of The Meadow
The fall -- it’s getting to be that time of year and I definitely love a Manhattan cocktail. My style of cocktails are very austere, classic cocktails. With a Manhattan, set your bourbon or rye aside, it comes down to the quality of your vermouth and the quality of your bitters.
Ingredients
- 2 0z. Rye Whiskey
- 1 oz. Dolin Sweet Vermouth
- 2 dashes Bob’s Abbots Bitters or Adam Elmegirab’s Dandelion & Burdock bitters
Directions
1) Stir ingredients in a mixing glass over ice.
2) Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with Maraschino cherry.

White Manhattan
Recipe courtesy of Mark Bitterman of The Meadow
I do a white Manhattan and I use Dolin Blanc, a floral, more delicate version of sweet vermouth. But I would only do that if I had an extremely special type of bourbon, like Basil Hayden, which is light and floral.
Ingredients
- 2 0z. Basil Hayden Whiskey
- 1 oz. Dolin Blanc
- 2 dashes Bob’s Abbots Bitters or Adam Elmegirab’s Dandelion & Burdock bitters
Directions
1) Stir ingredients in a mixing glass over ice.
2) Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with Maraschino cherry.
Rhubarb Gin & Tonic

Brooklyn’s Hemispherical Bitters -- he does really good fruit bitters. They are the only artisan rhubarb bitters producers -- a rhubarb gin and tonic is the best thing ever.
Ingredients
- 2 oz. gin
- Tonic Water
- 4 drops of Brooklyn Hemispherical Rhubarb Bitters
Directions
1) In a tall glass over ice, add gin, tonic and bitters and stir.
2) Garnish with a slice of lime.
Yuzu Bitters & Soda

The yuzu bitters, I’ve been drinking straight-up in club soda. I go a little heavy and use four to five drops.

- Soda Water
Directions
1) Over ice stir 4 to 5 drops of the bitters into a tall glass of soda water.
