1 oz McKenna 10 Year Bonded Whisky
1 oz Dolin Rouge
1 dash Regan’s Orange Bitters
1 dash Angostura bitters
1 dash Bitter Truth celery bitters
Shake with ice, strain into cocktail glass, garnish with lemon peel, serve. — This classic Manhattan riff comes to JM 1916 from an unknown source, not appearing in Straub 1913. While it is usually made with Rye these days, I take Jack’s generic whisky as an invitation to defy the trend, and the experiment is successful on the whole, the celery working nicely with the flavors of the bourbon.
