- 45ml Rittenhouse rye whiskey (1 1/2 oz)
- 45ml Cocchi Vermouth di Torino sweet vermouth (1 1/2 oz)
- 7ml Cointreau (1/4 oz)
- 1 dash Peychaud's bitters

Equal-parts rye to vermouth ratio and Cointreau accent evoke a pre-Prohibition turn-of-century Manhattan style. Modern canonical Manhattan is 2:1 rye to vermouth.
