Dirty Manhattan

1
Easy
5 minutes

You know the classic Manhattan – a classy concoction of whisky, sweet vermouth, bitters and a maraschino cherry. But do you know it’s subtler brother, the dirty martini? Swap the sweet vermouth for dry and garnish with an olive or a lemon twist rather than the cherry and what do you get? Pure sophistication, that’s what.

  • 50 ml whisky (two parts)

  • A few dashes Angostura® Aromatic Bitters 
  • ice, for shaking 
  • 1 green olive, to garnish 

Method

Ingredients

1. Pour the whisky, vermouth and bitters into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake until chilled, then strain into a martini glass.

Cook's note: You could also add a twist of lemon, or a very light splash of the olive brine for an extra layer of umami and complexity.
