Modern Notables
Little Italy
Cynar Manhattan
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.
Audrey Saunders, Pegu Club, New York, 2005. A Manhattan variation with Cynar that highlights rye whiskey and Italian ingredients; named for the Little Italy neighborhood bordering the bar. Per Difford's Guide #2819 and PUNCH.
