Rye Manhattan

Rye Manhattan made easy for the Cooler Keg. Batch it, chill it, pour it. Perfect for Aussie barbies and long weekends.

Ingredients

  • 3550 ml Rye Whiskey (Racine loves Few Rye Whiskey and New Riff Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey)
  • 1770 ml Sweet Vermouth (We prefer Cocchi or Dolin)
  • 150 ml Angostura Bitters
  • 920 ml Water (to account for water dilution from stirring)
  • Cherries for garnish (We recommend Curious Kitchen's Boozy Cherries)

Directions

  1. Mix all ingredients in a keg, stir, close the lid (no need to pressurise the keg)
  2. Chill keg in fridge overnight and freeze ice packs
  3. When ready to serve, put ice packs and kegs in the Cooler Keg and set pressure to 5psi
  4. Pour into a coupe glass, garnish with a cherry
  5. Pro tip: Express lemon peel over the drink, trust me
