How to make a Dr. Manhattan cocktail
From The Eaten Path:
Ingredients:
2 oz. clove-infused gin
1 oz. dry vermouth
1/2 oz. St Germain
Splash of blue curacao
2 dashes Peychaud’s bittersPlace several ice cubes in a mixing glass or cocktail shaker. Don’t skimp on the ice (I use about five cubes per drink), as Dr. Manhattan is to be served straight. Chill a glass on the side by filling it with ice or placing it in the freezer.
Add 2 oz. of clove-infused gin, then 1 oz. of dry vermouth. Follow with 1/2 oz. of St. Germain (the good Doctor still knows how to love, after all). Throw in a couple dashes of Peychaud’s bitters- I use Peychaud’s instead of Angostura because of their red hue and less punchy flavor. Finally, add just a bit of blue curaçao, enough to give the drink a crystal blue tinge without making the end result too sweet. Stir all of the ingredients thoroughly (I usually stir for half a minute or so) to ensure that they are well mixed and well chilled. This drink does not get better as it gets warmer.
Strain the mixture into the chilled glass and serve immediately.
Serve with a giant blue swizzle stick. The blueberries are optional.
Drink enough of these, and the morality of your actions will escape you too.
I ddoont knnow whacher' talkin' bout. I dont ffeeeel any diffrent at all. Of course I am blue and nekkid though. Izzat a problem witchu?!
You gotta feel sorry for Dr. Manhattan. Even when he multiplies himself, so he can have self-made orgies while maintaining his work schedule, he still ends up with blue balls!
I figure you could always repurpose those blue Pangalactic Gargleblasters we had at the Starship Titanic party 10 years ago. If only I could remember what was in them….
