Two Irish Men
This twist on the classic manhattan has been a firm favourite since day one at The Sun Tavern, where we use Irish whiskey to give it a much softer tone.
Serves 1
35ml Irish whiskey – a good one such as Slane
25ml Cocchi Americano
10ml Bénédictine
1 dash Peychaud’s bitters
1 lemon twist, to garnish
Fill a glass or jug with ice, add all the ingredients except the garnish and stir to chill. Strain into coupette or martini glass, and serve with a twist of lemon.
