I prefer a Sazerac and that calls for sugar syrup.

Someone should make both shaken and stirred versions, then do blind taste tests with a panel.

Manhattan

Not really sure why - I don't like vermouth so in theory Old Fashioned should be my thing but I just like Manhattans better.
Although one time I messed up my rye:vermouth ratio and that was disgusting so learned by lesson.

I know I have some sort of vermouth. I'll have to see what it is.


If you don’t know what it is, that probably means it’s time to throw it out.

Manhattan. Using Antica Formula vermouth has been an absolute game changer
