与纽约历史相关的饮料与曼哈顿恰当的曼哈顿是鸡尾酒界的两个巨人之一。与马提尼酒不同 -最好的版本可以在这里找到The Manhattan is slightly more forgiving of improvisation. So, after many years of researching the topic, it seems fitting that the city’s very best versions would also highlight a bit of eclecticism,too.

Absolute最好的

1。Buvette
42 Grove St., nr. Bleecker St.;212-255-3590

A classic Manhattan, of course, is two parts whiskey to one part vermouth. Throw in a couple of dashes of bitters and a garnish, and you’ve got just about the world’s most perfect cocktail. Any variation on the formula really has to work if it’s going to elevate this drink, which is why it’s so surprising to learn that boldly swapping the whiskey for cognac, as the barkeeps at Jody Williams’s West Village French bistro do, qualifies as a near-genius innovation: It’s simple without being obvious, and clever without being annoying. More important, it results in a drink that’s a little sweeter and smoother than the original, less spicy than a Manhattan made with rye. Purists will balk, understandably, and we’ve got whiskey versions covered below, but the Paris Manhattan, as it’s called, is an example of the exact right drink being served in the exact right setting, which is just the kind of drink that should sit at the top of thislist.

没有人能说十一麦迪逊公园——广泛的方面ed as one of the best restaurants in the entire world — is underappreciated. Even the bar program, helmed by Leo Robitschek, is littered with accolades. But one aspect of the restaurant thatcoulduse an additional round of applause is the rolling cart specifically dedicated to Manhattans. Guests who order the drink can choose from one of six variations, all of which are mixed table-side: the Little Italy, spiked with Cynar; the Brooklyn Heights, with a hit of Campari; the Brooklyn, with classic French liqueur Amer Picon; the Arthur Avenue, laced with mezcal; the Carroll Gardens, with orange amaro in place of curaçao; or an excellently rendered traditional version. Sure, it’s probably needless to declare that a restaurant this sufficiently praised also happens to make not one but强大的好曼哈顿人 - 就像指出一个斯图瓦特人的掌握了德语,法国人,andSpanish — but that’s kind of the point. There’s nothing more quintessentially New York thanoverachieving.

下面的鸡尾酒吧The Happiest Hourcan seem a little cookie-cutter — like it was purchased whole, signage and all, from a licensed dealer of Subterranean人造Speakeasys — but it’s hard to find anything particularly basic about the brilliant two-page homage to Manhattans, which reads like the liner notes of现在,这就是我所说的曼哈顿:第1卷。品种跨越了1884年至今韦斯基- 戴维·旺德里奇(David Wondrich)2005年的颂歌不足以评估爱尔兰的单罐威士忌 - 在这个伟大的命中率名单上,所有人都感到宾至如归。饮料是用小玻璃瓶供应的,该杯子本身就位于冰床上,因此您可以想象,在一个小时的大部分时间里,您可以想到一杯凉爽,未稀释的鸡尾酒。但是,事实是,您可能会更快地喝酒,以便您可以到达下一个version.

4。席勒酒吧
131 Rivington St., at Norfolk St.;212-260-4555

虽然现在ubiquit“杰瑞Thomas-style”饮料ous in New York cocktail bars — especially at places, like Slowly Shirley, that fetishize origins — credit must be given to Keith McNally’s Lower East Side mainstay Schiller’s for casually introducing aJ.T.曼哈顿的酒吧菜单上的食谱超过了十多年。使曼哈顿“杰里·托马斯(Jerry Thomas – Style)”的原因是黑麦威士忌和库拉索奥(Curaçao)的一个分裂基地,又称橙色利口酒。在席勒(Schiller's),利口酒(Liqueur)是大玛尼尔(Marnier):非常甜美,带有一点点柑橘类,可以切断苦艾酒。席勒是完美的酒吧吗?否。但是它能够激发出优质的老式鸡尾酒的能力,并且这样做的事实是如此之多,而且如此少量的大张旗鼓,足以赢得它的位置list.

曼哈顿的一个光荣的方面是,在任何给定时间,在任何条纹上都有三种成分或多或少可用,以确保始终是一个好订单。但是,在Prime Meats,一种成分实际上是手工制作的,除了使饮料真正唱歌之外,没有其他原因。这一切都是因为餐厅自己的苦味源于佛陀的手,这是芬芳的指柑橘类水果,它很好地抵消了苦艾酒和过度耐受的果实黑麦。

6。Attaboy
134 Eldridge St., nr. Broome St.; nophone

纽约的每个调酒师都知道如何制作曼哈顿,因此计划是将此清单仅限于专门在菜单上专门为曼哈顿的酒吧和餐馆限制。从技术上讲,Attaboy不会havea menu, so it’s something of a gray area, yet the bar’s main mechanism for ordering (tell the bartender what you like, and they’ll come up with a good drink) allows the Manhattan-starved drinker a few possible options. The first is to order the drink by name. It will be exceedingly well made. The other way is to beat around the bush a little, asking more vaguely for a not-too-sweet whiskey drink with some citrus, and see what happens. They’ll know what you mean and exactly the drink you really want — even if all you really want is a perfectly made曼哈顿。
