The Hollinger Manhattan Project

June 18, 2016 by Leave a Comment


The Hollinger Manhattan Project is another awesome cocktail I came across while reviewing Chad Berkey and Jeremy LeBlanc’s book “The North American Whiskey Guide from Behind the Bar”.  This is a fantastic book to add to your cocktail book collection or even have behind the home bar during parties.  You can experiment with drinks as written in the book or you change up the ingredients to see what develops.  I slightly modified The Hollinger Manhattan Project by substituting Rittenhouse 100 Rye Whiskey with Bulleit 95 Small Batch Rye Whiskey.

The Bulleit Rye Whiskey had that peppery bite that is common for Rye whiskies.  Our review on the Bulleit 95 Rye whiskey can be viewed at https://loversofwhisky.com/bulleit-95-rye-whiskey/.  As far as the garnish goes for your cocktail, you can substitute the Luxardo Maraschino cherry with a regular Maraschino cherry.  The Luxardo cherries are sweeter than a regular Maraschino cherry.  And, without further ado, here is the Hollinger Manhattan Project.

How did the cocktail taste or are you too busy making yourself another one?
