Inside New York’s famed Carlyle Hotel resides the iconic Bemelmans Bar, where this cocktail originated. The drink is named after Bobby Short, an American cabaret singer and pianist who was a regular performer at Café Carlyle next door. His favorite drink was a Manhattan, so they created this rum Manhattan just for him.
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 fl. oz. (45 ml) Santa Teresa 1796 rum
- 1 fl. oz. (30 ml) sweet vermouth
- 3/4 fl. oz. (20 ml) Cherry Heering liqueur
- 2 dashes orange bitters
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
- 1 sprig dried gypsophila (baby’s breath), for garnish
- 3 brandied cherries, for garnish
Directions:
In a mixing glass filled with ice, combine the rum, vermouth, cherry liqueur and bitters. Stir until thoroughly chilled. Strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with the sprig of gypsophila and metal skewer with cherries and serve immediately. Makes 1 drink.
