      Title: Up To Date Cocktail
 Categories: Alcohol, Beverages
      Yield: 1 Serving

  1 1/2 oz Rye whiskey
  1 1/2 oz Sherry
    1/4 oz Grand marnier
      2 ds Angostura bitters

  A cocktail from the early 1900s, a Manhattan-esque classic, made
  with rye whiskey, Grand Marnier and sherry.

  From the 1916 edition of Hugo Ensslin's Recipes for Mixed Drinks. He
  was the head bartender at the long defunct Hotel Wallick in New York
  City and the very first cocktail recipe author.

  Ensslin's recipe calls for equal parts rye whiskey and sherry,
  finished off with a couple dashes of Grand Marnier and Angostura
  bitters.

  Hugo Ensslin's 1916 recipe didn't specify which type of sherry to
  use. For a lighter and drier flavor, pick a Fino or Manzanilla
  sherry. If you like things closer to a classic Manhattan, grab some
  Amontillado or Oloroso.

  Add rye, sherry, Grand Marnier and Angostura bitters to a mixing
  glass. Fill 2/3 full with ice and stir until well chilled, about 20
  seconds. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and serve.
