  • 2 oz of rye.
  • Quite good; would probably be better with 1 dash of the bitters instead of 2.
  • Replace Chartreuse with Elderflower.

Comments

This is a great cocktail if you can't decide if you want a Manhattan or a Final Ward. I anticipated my preferences and modified the proportions a bit, decreasing the liqueurs to 1/8 oz each and increasing the vermouth to 3/4 oz, and I added a lemon twist.

Very nice, dry-ish cocktail. A nice alternative to a Red Hook. I did not find 1/4 oz of each liqueur excessive. Lovely.


Too sweet for me and Chartreuse overpowered. Adding 1/2 oz more rye made it work for me.

Added orange rind. Took advice of other commenter and upped Rye a bit. Well balanced.


Good one. May be reduce Bitters to 1 ds and up a little dry vermouth and rye whiskey?
