| 2 | oz | Oat Whiskey, High West Silver Whiskey |
| 1⁄4 | oz | Dry vermouth, Dolin |
| 1⁄4 | oz | Bénédictine (optional) |
| 2 | ds | Bitters, Bitter Truth Repeal Day |
Instructions
Stir with ice, strain, and serve in a martini glass.
Notes
Been playing around with the High West silver since it came out. Brand matters here because it's an oat whiskey, a rarity, and has a custard & tropical fruit aroma.
History
Riffed off a friend's recipe calling for 1.5 oz white corn whisky, .5 oz dry vermouth, .5 oz Benedictine, and orange bitters.

Since the Repeal Day bitters
Submitted by Dan on
Since the Repeal Day bitters are limited production and sold-ago sold out, perhaps we could update this to use a bitters that is available, at least as a sub? Also I created a Oat Whiskey ingredient, so I used that for the High West.
I have the repeal bitters,

I have the repeal bitters, they are very Christmas-y. I'd say Angostura is definitely an acceptable substitute, though some of the spice will be lost - maybe muddle a clove first? I don't have the oat whiskey so I can't say, but I'm not sure what makes this a Manhattan since it doesn't have sweet vermouth. That said, the repeal bitters are SPECTACULAR in a Manhattan.
