Decanter recommends a selection of rye whiskeys that make the perfect base for this legendary cocktail
This iconic cocktail first appeared in the late 19th century, with its origins still shrouded in mystery. Some insist that it first featured at the Manhattan Club in 1878. Others state it made its first appearance in William Schmidt’s book
The Flowing Bowl, published in 1891.
There is also a hotly contested rumour that it was invented for Governor Samuel J Tildem’s electoral win party in 1874. The host of said party was supposedly Jennie Jerome, also known as Lady Randolph Churchill. The main flaw in this story however is that she was supposed to be in London giving birth to her son, Winston Churchill, at the time.
Lockdown launch: Mooze 12% ABV gin alternative
Gin alternative Mooze was created during lockdown 2.0 when founder Mel Sims wanted to moderate her alcohol intake after her hospitality business was forced to close.
The 12% ABV, 18 calorie per serving, vegan-friendly pour is described as a “middle of the road” rather than “extreme” alternative to gin. It is also sugar and sweetener free.
The spirit goes through the same distillation process as gin, with its founder stating the 12% ABV means that the botanicals – juniper, cucumber, orange zest, clementine zest, macadamia nuts and coriander – come through into the drink better.
