Back in the 1800s, two Saratoga cocktails were battling it out. One was a Fancy Brandy Cocktail (brandy, triple sec, bitters and sugar) topped with a splash of chilled Champagne, and the other was this cocktail. Needless to say, the libation featured here was the clear victor. Essentially a Manhattan made with a split base of rye whiskey and Cognac, the stiff mix is tempered with sweet vermouth and spicy Angostura bitters. It’s a great option for Manhattan obsessives who want to try something different—but not too different.
