So a very specific question for my Chowhound neighbors. Coming from 2nd and Washington and going to Kalaya at 9th and Carpenter - where can I get a decent cocktail? Either enroute or close to it?
I am self-confessed a novice when it comes to Manhattans limited to experimenting at home until I can make the perfect drink (not perfect as in 50-50 sweet/dry vermouth). My intentions is to be abl...
Give me some recommendations. Which cocktails benefit from being aged in barrels?
THE MORNINGSTAR: This cocktail was described by my bartender tonight as a "twist" on the classic Manhattan cocktail. The description on its menu reads as follows: "Eagle Rare Whiskey/Frangelico/...
Looking for Luxardo Maraschino cherries (the fruit not the liqueur). Any idea where I can pick up a jar? My Manhattans are longing for them!
Martini purists beware, this posting isn't for you. I've come to really favor lillet blanc in my martinis. Paired with plymouth gin it might be the best "martini" I've ever had. Natually my mi...
Any ideas?
I was given a bottle of Luxardo Maraschino last year and it sits, regal and un-loved, on my liquor shelf. I have looked at Luxardo recipes and none seem to really look good, but I do have friends t...
The Manhattan is my latest obsession and as much of a fan of Bourbon as I am, it only really works for me with Rye - I guess as it should be drunk. The problem is that I'm in the UK and the choi...

Does anyone know what tool it is that makes tiny little ice slivers in martini? Saw a bartender in NYC do this one time with some type of mallet, just pounding away until it turned to slivers....
What is the difference rye vs bourbon in a manhattan? I've never had rye hence the question. Thanks
Although I have imbibed others in the past, but I made my first manhattan cocktails for a small dinner party last Friday. I used two parts Templeton Rye, one part sweet vermouth [unfortunately all ...
Just finished the jar of store bought Maraschino cherries, but I'd like to make my own now. I'm not looking to replicate the Maraschino, I just want a good tasting cherry for my Manhattan. I have a...
Hi. I'm planning a picnic for 30 in a park where they will be screening the Woody Allen classic MANHATTAN. I have 2 1 gallon coolers, 2 1 liter bottles of Bulleit Rye, a bottle of Dolin Vermouth ...
Has anyone made it to any of the events this year? We sadly missed out on the Gala (sold out in four minutes flat and didn't get a chance to get tix when they put them back up!), but we managed ...
Hello, Can someone please recommend a bar that makes a killer Manhattan cocktail? Thanks!
