Recipe

Zero-Proof Manhattan Build

Manhattan Coupe Moderate

A stirred whiskey-style build with bitter-sweet structure and a slow finish.

Ingredients

Use the bottle style, not only the brand name, when you substitute.

  • 2 oz whiskey alternative
  • 0.75 oz alcohol-free sweet vermouth or spiced tea syrup
  • 2 dashes 0.0 aromatic bitters

Method

Small technique choices matter more when there is no alcohol carrying the drink.

1 Stir with ice until chilled
2 Strain into a coupe
3 Keep sweetness restrained so the finish stays adult.

Finish: Cherry
