With more bars focusing on classic cocktails, many are looking for subtle ways to play off of traditional recipes. At Wonderly in Portland, Oregon, owner Kate Wood creates a house vermouth blend—one part Carpano Antica for its warm vanilla notes, and one part Dolin Rouge for its herbaceous qualities—to amplify the richness of the classic Manhattan. "When I was playing around with the Manhattan, the flavor combo of both vermouths created a profile that was exactly what I was looking for. Throw in the orange bitters for a tiny bit of added sweetness and citrus and it's a Manhattan I’m happy to serve and drink."
