222. Manhattan Jr. Cocktail

  1 oz Rittenhouse Rye
  1 oz Casa Mariol Vermut
  1 dash Angostura Bitters

Shake well (20-30 seconds) with 1/2 glass (6 oz.) cracked ice, strain into cocktail glass, garnish with orange twist, serve. — This recipe comes from Straub 1913, clearly poised as a variation on the Manhattan, though how “Jr.” fits is unclear. The drink is not smaller, or less in anyway; it is perhaps more puerile with its shaking rather than stirring (thus more dilute, colder, less savory) and with its sweet, fragrant garnish.
