The Upside-Down Manhattan

PH factor: 9.0

Recipe

Ingredients:     

Cocktail

o ¼ ounce Pernod Absinthe

Supérieure

o 1 ounce Heaven’s Door

Straight Rye whiskey

o ¼ ounce Fernet~Branca

o 2 ½ ounces Lillet Rouge

o 1 dash Hella Orange bitters

Garnish

o orange peel

Method:

1. Swirl absinthe to coat the

inside of a cocktail glass and

discard the excess.

2. Stir remaining cocktail

ingredients over ice in a

mixing glass.

3. Serve up in the prepared

glass.

4. Express orange peel over

the drink and drop it in for

garnish.

Remarks:

Inverting the rye to vermouth

ratio makes for a very different

Manhattan. One that is tasty on

its own and also goes very well

with food.
