Welcome to the GND Recipes Library! If the Martini is the king of gin cocktails, the Manhattan is the undisputed royalty of whiskey drinks. Sophisticated, bold, and incredibly smooth, the Manhattan Deluxe is for those who truly appreciate the craft of a spirit-forward cocktail.

Recipe Details

• Prep Time: 3 Minutes

• Servings: 1 Drink

• Difficulty: Medium

Ingredients

• 2 oz Premium Rye Whiskey (or Bourbon for a sweeter profile)

• 1 oz Sweet Vermouth

• 2 dashes Angostura bitters

• 1 dash Orange bitters

• Ice cubes for stirring

• GND Orange Slices for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Combine: In a glass mixing pitcher, add the rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, Angostura bitters, and orange bitters.

2. Stir: Fill the mixing pitcher with ice. Stir smoothly for about 30 seconds. (Never shake a Manhattan; stirring creates that silky, crystal-clear texture).

3. Strain: Strain the chilled mixture into a frosty coupe or martini glass.

4. Garnish: Express the oils of a fresh orange peel if you have one, but lay a beautiful GND dehydrated orange slice on top for a luxurious presentation and lingering aroma.

💡 GND Pro-Tip: A heavy, spirit-forward cocktail like the Manhattan needs a robust aromatic garnish to balance the alcohol on the nose. The intense, deep citrus oils from our dehydrated orange wheels provide the perfect counterpoint to the whiskey. 👉 Shop GND Orange Slices
