The Mimico Manhatten

I thought that I had already posted this. BUT - I can not find it. So -here it is - the best Manhattan Recipe.

In an Old Fashioned Glass:

• 1.5 ounces of Forty Creek Copper Pot Canadian Whisky
• 1.5 ounces of Alberta Distillers Black Horse Canadian Whisky
• 0.75 ounces  Martini & Rossi Red Vermouth
• 4 Dashes of Fees Brothers Black Walnut Bitters
• 2 good large slices of Orange Zest 

Combine in the old fashioned glass the whisky, vermouth, and bitters. Twist the orange zest over the glass, and then drop the slices in to the glass. Fill with ice, stir with your finger.

This has been a favourite since about 2010. It all started a few years before - and I tried a bunch of different variations - red and white vermouth, both, cherries, cherry juice - they all have good aspects - but - this is the best.

Try it - I am sure you will like it.
