The Manhattan
The earliest written mention of the Manhattan is said to have been in 1882 when in The Sunday Morning Herald of Olean, NY mentioned, “It is but a short time ago that a mixture of whiskey, vermouth, and bitters came into vogue”. The recipe shows up in 1884 in the iconic cocktail cookbook, The Modern Bartender’s Guide, by O.H Byron.
- 2 oz bourbon OR
- 1 oz bourbon
- 1 oz rye
- .75 oz Spiced Cherry Vanilla
- .25 oz sweet vermouth
- Dash of aromatic bitters
The Paper Plane
- 2 ounces bourbon
- 0.5 ounce Aperol
- 0.5 ounce Amaro Nonino
- 0.5 oz Make & Muddle Honey Lavender Elixir
- 0.5 ounce fresh lemon juice
Created by New York bartender Sam Ross in 2007. The Paper Plane was born at Milk & Honey (RIP), a New York City cocktail bar where Sam Ross was an influential figure. Ross originally crafted the Paper Plane as a riff on the Last Word, a Prohibition-era cocktail that uses equal parts of four ingredients.
The Bloody Mary
- 2 oz vodka
- 4-6 oz Make & Muddle Bloody Mary Mix
- Extravagant garnish of your choosing
The history of the Bloody mary is as thick as the drink itself. Some say it was created in the 1920’s in Paris at the New York Bar. Some say it was created in New York City. We will never know. It does seem that the drink has evolved over the years- originally being made for ½ vodka and ½ tomato juice. After some time, and likely due to sponsorship and advertising, Worcestershire sauce was added along with black pepper and lemon juice.
