So I've said that I wouldn't entertain remaking a Manhattan just to feature a different base liquor. But I've done it with
Applejack to good effect and at times I've entertained using Jim Beam Red Stag or Black Velvet Toasted Caramel. These turn out to be very different drinks--not at all like a traditional Manhattan. So I got on board with gold tequila and Carpano Antica vermouth. One difference with this cocktail was the addition of an orange slice, which was in keeping with the style of the base liquor.
- 3 oz. gold tequila
- 1 oz. sweet vermouth
- 1/2 tsp. lime juice
- dash of Angostura bitters
- orange slice
- maraschino cherry
Combine all ingredients except fruit in a mixing glass with ice. Stir and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with the cherry and orange slice.
