There is always much to recommend in Snackbar’s ever-changing cocktailcopia, and the winter drinks menu is no exception. Case in point: the Man-Fashioned, a happy hybrid of the Old-Fashioned and the Manhattan, with Snackbar personality.
The base is Old Weller Antique, a high-proof “wheated” bourbon, which is married with Dolin Rouge Vermouth, Cherry Heering liqueur, and Angostura and whiskey-barrel aged bitters, garnished with a flamed orange peel.
This cocktail, priced at $9, uses one large ice cube; it melts slowly and creates less dilution of the drink.
