The “Machattan”

Monday, September 5th, 2011

My grandfather, Thomas MacCollum, who is 92 years young has been drinking at least one Manhattan almost every day since he was at least my age. Except when he makes them they’re called a “Machattan”. There are plenty of Manhattan drink recipes, both traditional and modified, on the Internet but you won’t find the “Machattan” recipe anywhere. Until now!

2 shots Ten High bourbon
1 shot Martini & Rossi sweet vermouth
1 shake of aromatic bitters
1 maraschino cherry with a little bit of cherry juice
Ice
