Can't believe I've missed this thread. Man, aside from a few of you, it's total amateur-hour in here LOL.

Any of the local guys can attest to the fact that I'm a little bit of a cocktail nerd, but also a student and fan of the trade. I find the history of it really interesting.

My recent favorite has been the Saratoga Cocktail. It's extremely easy to make, and tastes delicious. It's essentially a Manhattan with a portion of the whiskey replaced with brandy. It's from c. 1880, and named after Saratoga Springs, which was a gambling/drinking hotspot at the time. I believe it first appeared in print in the 1887 edition of Jerry Thomas' Cocktail Guide. Anyhow, on to the good part...

I'll preface the recipe by saying, as a spirit based cocktail, you'll want to use the best ingredients possible. A cask-strength Rye such as Thomas Handy, really gives it some teeth.



Saratoga Cocktail
1oz Rye Whiskey
1oz Brandy
1oz Sweet Vermouth
2 dashes Angostura Bitters

Stir with ice and strain into a glass. See, wasn't that easy?

If I'm not drinking beer or wine, it's manhattens and vodka waters. Or some good Irish Whiskey.

If you're a fan of Manhattans, you'll love it. I've been using Remy VSOP for the brandy (relatively inexpensive, and widely available), Dolin vermouth, and Rī1 rye (or Russel's Reserve).
