Cask and You Shall Receive

barrel proof manhattan cocktail in a coupe with an orange peel garnish

This barrel proof Manhattan cocktail is built with barrel proof bourbon in mind – something bold, complex, and hopefully selected by a handful of women and men whose palates you trust. Best made with a Bourbon Women barrel pick, in my case, from Four Roses in 2014.

2 oz barrel proof bourbon
¾ oz coffee-infused sweet vermouth**
½ barspoon maple syrup
4 drops cardamon bitters

Notes

Coffee-infused Sweet Vermouth

3 tablespoons dark roast coffee beans
4 ounces sweet vermouth

Put dark roast coffee beans in a clean glass jar with the sweet vermouth. Let steep for 4 to 8 hours – or more if you want more bitterness in the cocktail. Strain and store in the fridge in a clean jar. Use within 3 to 4 weeks.
