Why go to this much trouble to lay out recipes from about.com and yahoo? Grenadine in a Manhattan sounds like a joke.
JuliCounter9
You may get more than you bargained for.
b0r3dw0rk3r
good whiskey gets mixed with nothing
vegivamp
On the one hand, I agree, a good whisky needs nothing but itself; on the other hand, though, better ingredients make for better results...
vegivamp
That comes from a man, however, who uses Glenfiddich for his coctail sauce. It's the crappiest whisky I've got... :-p
fedoraeuphoria
Do NOT use grenadine in a Manhattan.
Fingolfin
Yep. I stopped reading after that.
eskamobob1
Yah, wtf was with some of these recipies? Who actualy puts sclices in old fashions either? Just zest it.
theconcreteslab
THANK YOU FOR THIS
stevetehpirate
That's how you get stabbed in my house.
cmc8290
When I first read this I thought it said "do NOT use grenadine in Manhattan" and I was like dayum New Yorkers are insane
kevinallover
As a New Yorker, I don't see why anyone would ever use it..
brunei
I was just going to say this. I'm disgusted.
akom
Glad to see no splash of the cherry liquid, though. My favorite is is 2/3 bourbon, 1/3 good vermouth, 2 dashes orange bitters. No cherry.
willfullyspooning
This is how my dad taught me how to make one. Except with a cherry haha.
madenewusernameinwakeofrecentevents
here here. I like an orange or grapefruit twist instead of cherry. Also, Cocchi goes well instead of regular vermouth.
AVkid
No Grenadine and a lime instead of cherry, now that's a good Manhattan!
thesunshinesoutofmybehind
yeah and what's with all the cherries,are we drinking or having a meal
HumanParagon
zmobiedick
Or a cherry for that matter. Whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters. Ain't nothing manly about syrupy pink grenadine.
fedoraeuphoria
It's just preference but a (real) maraschino cherry is used as a garnish
zmobiedick
I can see that. It's mostly when bars finish my Manhattan by pouring juice straight out of the cherry jar into my drink that turns me off
TheChandrian
My favorite bar serves good cherries that have been soaked in sweet vermouth. They're delicious.
JMaringur
Yes! Your favorite bar is doing it right; I am at a complete loss over the popularity of cherries doused with formaldehyde ...
Anononononon
I prefer bourbon [bookers currently] soaked cherries over vermouth soaked
birdspy
this whole list is bullshit. my bartender would know none of these.
unclemucklebones
I'm glad you said that. A Manhattan is one of my favorite drinks. Oddly, a lot of bartenders in my area won't serve it. (I'm in NC)
neondemonn
I've never heard of a bartender refusing to serve a certain drink.
unclemucklebones
I honestly don't think the bars i was going to were worth their margarita salt. ;)
NachoAverageBurrito
I'm a bartender in NC. I make it all the time. One of my favorites :)
NachoAverageBurrito
A chain restaurant near Raleigh. I made about a dozen tonight actually
unclemucklebones
I honestly think that they didn't have Vermouth. I lived in Winston Salem for 10 years, it was a bar on Burke Street.
DonutHolstein
No one mentioned a rusty nail? Scotch and Drambuie. Just go 50/50 or more whisky if you don't want it less sweet. Plus, Drambuie=more scotch
sketchywombat
I found it surprising it wasn't on there
Rudimentary
No whiskey sours?
Gillm09
I love whiskey sours but now they give me heartburn :(

My favourite. As long as they don't put fucking egg white on top.
Meghanlovesit
You aren't drinking a whiskey sour if you don't have the egg white in it
gravityninja
I disagree. and so does the International Bartenders Association. http://www.iba-world.com/
Rudimentary
If they know how to do it right its amazing.
gravityninja
What do you think it adds? It is just more stuff I have to get through to get to the drink. I've tried it many times without enjoyment.
smartestchild
What?!! The egg white is the best part!!
gravityninja
Better than the whiskey part? We will have to agree to disagree on this.
smartestchild
Yeah, I'm a big wimp when it comes to alcohol. The less alcoholic it tastes, the better!
DaddysHome
huh, i've never tried it with eggwhite
SmashleyKK
Me neither
DavidPemberton
They list Manly cocktails but don't mention whisky sours? That shit's got raw egg in it. That's fucking manly.
ForgottenTaco
... then i have never had a whiskey sour. i know i ordered one in a fancy bar tho
DavidPemberton
I think a lot of places do without the egg whites, since if you don't do it right you can make people ill.
ForgottenTaco
so they make the drink, then pour raw egg whites into it ?
Anononononon
Yup. It really should be called a Boston sour that way though.
DavidPemberton
Honestly, you've not had a proper sours (but there are some good tasting ones without) until you've had one poured with egg whites.

MrComanche
Agreed, but not with the fruit. Whiskey, sugar and a bit of water to dissolve it, bitters, and a twist of citrus are all you really need.
Quzzat
Yes! Yes, yes. Thank you.
zuzuman
Yes. Lemon or orange zest is all you need. Also, simple syrup is really easy to make, I keep some in an old whiskey bottle in the fridge.
MrComanche
I have an old Bundaburg ginger beer bottle for exactly that. But when it's gone I'm always too impatient to make more and let it cool.

by simple syrup they mean gomme right?

That's because in Ireland it's just called a "car bomb ".

On an different but also Irish note, Gaelic is a sport not a language. It's just Irish.
AndSoAdInfinitum
It is how you refer to Scots Gaelic, though, which is what the Scots called theirs, so the above could sll be correct.
Thefluffernutter
Gaelic is a type of language (like Germanic or Romantic) which refers to Irish, Scottish, and Manx.
likeimfromcorklike
And here he meant Irish because that's the language he wrote in. It would be like saying the only Germanic word for whiskey is whiskey.
Thefluffernutter
It's more like he said "Romantic is a type of book not a language. It's just French". Gaelic is not just a sport.
Spoilsport
‘Gaelic’ is often shorthand for ‘Gaelic football’, that doesn't mean it's all the word means.
likeimfromcorklike
It's like saying whiskey is the Germanic word. He's saying that Irish is the same as Gaelic and it's not.
Spoilsport
Hmm, olkie. I guess if anybody hears the word Gaeilge, they just assume synonymity.
BurlRavenscroft
Do they prefer to call the drink something else then, because politics shouldn't get in the way of deliciousness

Innocuous names can become upsetting. Imagine if there was a cocktail called the "Twin Tower Explosion" that existed long before 9/11.

The black and Tans were a force set up by Britain to keep the Irish "in check" They killed thousands of innocent people for arbitrary reason

Basically the black and tans were the British equivalent to the French foreign legion during the Irish Revolution.

Black and tans were ex Brit army who were brought in as police called so because of uniform

Oh thank you for explaining. I had no idea, I just assumed the drink was named after its colors.

2. up on cars and games in order to be desired by men. Which seemed weird. I don't think i'd find a dude who knows make up and tampons hot.

Tampons are not useful knowledge, the male equivalent would be learning to sew or cook. Which probably would be considered hot.

Sadly you would be surprised. A lot of men cook but I've known a couple without the ability to cook without scorching things.

Work with a guy that only drinks "girly" drinks because he said it tastes better when he pukes. It's pretty sound reasoning if you ask me.

Yup. If I wanna get girly I'll go for a tall Midori with Sprite. Amaretto with lemon sounds like a post-nausea aftertaste.

Live life however you want it!

Same here. Old fashioneds are my main drink

Even if you *need* a girl drink.. just get a whiskey sour.
runningintriangles
Maybe, but most places don't make whiskey sours properly, I find.

Manhattan all the way is my favorite, but I like your style.

drinks all sound gross. 2/2

They sound like a stomach ache. I'm mostly a beer gal but I do like a smooth whiskey on the rocks or foamy whiskey sour every now and again

As a 28YO male, they sound DELICIOUS

That is a splendid bottle, i have 2 of them because i'm in love with it so hard. The cuban selection is quite good as well!

For the longest time an old fashioned was a girly drink. It has 2 fruits + sugar in it. Mad men changed that

Even if it is incorrect, I'm still pretty sure it was never a "girly" drink.

This girly girl loves her whiskey straight with a few drops of water

I'm a girly girl too - one ice cube and a water back.
astrocouldyounaut
I think it surprised my co workers that I'm this girly and love whiskey on the rocks.

as a girl who also loves her whiskey and has relevant username, down the hatch.

This one, with one ice cube.

Most bartenders are going to look at you and say "no" if you order these when it's busy. Some of them take like 10 minutes to make.

THANK YOU. most of them wouldn't know any of these.
baconsmellsreallygood
Please I expect any random bartender always have a full supply of exotic fruits on hand for my annoying requests

This is pretty accurate, i luled.

Old fashions are fun to make. Come visit me. The bar I work at has a bunch on infused bourbons as well.

as a scot, i dislike this post

Why?

The entries in the "5 basic classifications of whisky" made me cringe

Bloody heathens! The only thing to put in a Whiskey is more Whiskey!

I was looking for this point of view in the comments so I could upvote it. TY.

I couldn't agree more. And my username says it too.

I'm an American who hates this post as well. I enjoy a good glass of whiskey. Only whiskey.
birdspy
this whole list is bullshit
InboxMeAllOfYourCats
As a fellow Scot I also dislike this post, you drink it straight, no ice no water and only actual whisky, no glorified bourbons.
CameForNatalieDormer
That's silly. Ask distillers in Scotland at any distillery: They make it to drink, not to brag about. Drink it how you enjoy it. 1/2
CameForNatalieDormer
But don't tell others they're wrong for the way they enjoy it. 2/2
Imadefetchhappen
Add a drop of water, but only a drop. It brings out notes that were never there before. Especially with high alcohol whiskies.
DeckhandAdmiral
You don't know anything about enjoying the taste of a good scotch or whiskey do you? Straight doesn't give you the full taste.
InboxMeAllOfYourCats
yes i do, i worked in a distillery for a while over the summer last year. I like mine actually straight, not what the post calls straight.
DeckhandAdmiral
Then you should know that in order to enjoy the full taste, a bit of water is needed.
