Recently I got my hands on some @CarandiniUS Emilio Balsamic Vinegar of Modena at Whole Foods and it struck me that a good, authentic Italian balsamic vinegar would taste amazing in a cocktail. I took to task on how to incorporate some into my favorite cocktail, the "Manhattan." Let me introduce you to the "Modena in Manhattan." A taste of the old country on Spring Street in NYC. A little Carandini goes a long way and I invite you to try to make one at home. Step outside the box and add four centuries of history and tradition with some #Carandini in your favorite cocktail or dish
.
.
* 2 Ounces of Bourbon
* 3/4 Ounce of good Italian Sweet Vermouth
*1/4 Ounce of Carandini Emilio Balsamic Vinegar of Modena
* 2 dashes of Whiskey Barrel-Aged Bitters
.
Directions:
*In a small saucepan over heat, reduce a small amount of Carandini Emilio Balsamic Vinegar of Modena until syrupy. Set aside and let cool completely. Pour onto a plate creating a flat layer.
*Dip the rim of your coupe glass in the vinegar reduction and set aside
*Add the bourbon, vermouth, Balsamic vinegar, and bitters into a mixing glass with ice, and stir until chilled.
*Strain into your coupe glass
* Garnish with a cocktail cherry.
