The Harvard Cocktail Recipe
A deep, flavorful Cognac cocktail with a hint of citrus to balance the bitters.
Equipment
- Bar spoon
- Cocktail Strainer
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz. Cognac (Pierre Ferrand 1840)
- .75 oz. Sweet Vermouth (La Quintinye)
- .25 oz. Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp. Real Grenadine Real Grenadine
- 3 dashes Aromatic Bitters (Angostura)
- Lemon twist
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a pint glass over ice and stir thoroughly. Strain into a chilled cocktail coupe. Garnish with a lemon twist.
- Note: some variations of this recipe include topping with club soda. I don’t know why you’d do that to a perfectly good Manhattan variant, but if that’s your thing, I suppose I can’t stop you!
