Dry Manhattan
popularized by the Rat Pack
1.5 oz Rittenhouse rye whiskey
0.75 oz Martini and Rossi dry vermouth
1 or 2 dashes Angostura bitters
Combine all ingredients in shaker half filled with ice and stir well. Strain into martini glass and garnish with burnished lemon twist.
This was surprisingly easy after the mess I made of another seemingly simple drink, the Old Fashioned. I really like the dry vermouth with the rye and it sweetens it just enough. I must say that I haven't learned the trick to burnishing the lemon twist/peel. Try as I might I couldn't squeeze out any oil and the peel had charred places on it.Oh well...practiccccce.
