Dirty Manhattan
1
Easy
5 minutes
You know the classic Manhattan – a classy concoction of whisky, sweet vermouth, bitters and a maraschino cherry. But do you know it’s subtler brother, the dirty martini? Swap the sweet vermouth for dry and garnish with an olive or a lemon twist rather than the cherry and what do you get? Pure sophistication, that’s what.
Ingredients
Method
- 50 ml whisky (two parts)
- 25 ml dry vermouth (one part)
- A few dashes Angostura® Aromatic Bitters
- ice, for shaking
- 1 green olive, to garnish
Method
Ingredients
1. Pour the whisky, vermouth and bitters into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake until chilled, then strain into a martini glass.
2. Thread the olive onto a toothpick and use to garnish the cocktail.
Cook's note: You could also add a twist of lemon, or a very light splash of the olive brine for an extra layer of umami and complexity.
