Wellington Bites Cocktail Pairing: The Smoked Manhattan Martini
A sultry, refined twist on the classic martini-meets-Manhattan, with subtle smoke and herbal depth to match the elegance of beef Wellington.
Directions
-
Place a martini or coupe glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill.
-
In a mixing glass or shaker, combine rye whiskey, vermouth, and bitters with ice. Stir until well chilled, about 30 seconds.
-
Pour out the chilling water and rinse the glass with Scotch (swirl and discard excess) or use a fine mist sprayer for a subtle smoky finish. Strain the cocktail into the prepared glass.
-
Garnish with a curled lemon peel or add a cocktail cherry for a hint of sweetness.
