Reverse Manhattan
If you know how to make a Manhattan, then you know how to make a Reverse Manhattan. Like the Reverse Martini, this switched-up classic simply swaps the proportions of sweet vermouth and rye in a standard Manhattan, creating a lighter, aperitif-like take on the original. Rye’s bold pepper and alcoholic bite is tamed by the higher measure of vermouth, but we suggest opting for a bigger, more vivacious brand like Carpano Antica to counteract the loss of flavor.
