Drink Recipe

Metropolitan

A Metropolitan is a smooth, brandy-forward cocktail with the rounded fruitiness of brandy brightened by sweet vermouth and mellowed by a touch of superfine sugar and aromatic bitters. It pours a clear, deep amber into a chilled cocktail glass and is shaken until briskly chilled for a slightly frothy, velvety texture. Worth trying if you like a Manhattan-like, spiritous sipper that’s rich, slightly sweet, and elegantly simple.

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp Caster Sugar
  • 2 oz Brandy
  • 0.5 oz Sweet Vermouth
  • 1 dash Aromatic Bitters

  2. Combine the superfine sugar, brandy, sweet vermouth, and bitters in the shaker.
