If you want to use the cherry syrup, try a Boulevard Manhattan. 3 oz bourbon or rye (I tend to use Knob Creek Rye, at 100 proof it works well in mixed drinks) 1.5 oz dry vermouth 1 oz Gran Marnier 4 dashes bitters (aromatic or orange) 1 1/2 teaspoons cherry syrup Shake over ice Pour into glass and add one (or more) Luxardo cherries. Something tells me you'd do two or more. Not a drink I'd have every day, but a nice twist on a Perfect Manhattan. Or a Boulevardier that eschews the bitterness of the Campari.

When you do make it to NOLA make sure you have a bit of a swing through all the good cocktail bars, there are at least 20 that you have to visit just to feel like you’ve seen all the good ones.

When you instead miss it for Colorado try the Brown Palace for any coctails!!! AS you walk your dog up Dakota Ridge take the side trail to the Dinosaur Footprints!! And metro Denver has lots of Artisan Beers!

"sweet divine nectar of baby jesus" such wonderful gathering of words...

Wild Turkey Rare Breed Rye (barrel proof) will show you that Amercan Rye is not limited to the MGP flavor profile (which includes Bulleit and just about every other American Rye outside of Rittenhouse and a few others) And again ... Improved Whiskey Cocktail ! You have the maraschino liqueur, simple syrup , love the absinthe and can use any whiskey that you like !! LuvYa.

This really makes me want to revisit New Orleans.

It may seem a bit obvious, but Sazerac rye is truly my favorite rye for making a Sazerac. And it's NOT expensive!

“Footage too tipsy for KZread” 😳 Brilliant! Also, WhistlePig has a fantastic Rye lineup, from the “Piggyback” to the 15 year. The 12 is my personal fav neat, but for a cocktail the piggyback affordable and excellent. Lovely cocktail, cheers!! 🥃

Yay! More cocktails with Ciara! ♥️

Please make a Classic Rum Punch: 1 sour, 2 sweet, 3 strong and 4 weak. You get to choose what to use for sour, sweet, strong (what kind of rum) and weak. Making for myself, lime juice for the sour component, orange juice for the sweet component, Appleton Estate for the dark(ish) rum, ginger beer for the weak component. Garnish with a Luxardo cherry (plus a bit of the cherry syrup), plus a shake of nutmeg.

My favorite cocktail recipe is pretty complicated, but worth it: -1 part Jim Beam -some ice -1 part Jim Beam -a few more parts Jim Beam -garnish with a splash of Jim Beam

When making a classic New Orleans cocktail, you can’t go wrong with Old Olverholt. Also, a rye whiskey that I find very tasty and it’s easy to find is Old Forester’s 100 proof Rye. James Pepper Cask Strength is worth a shot too. Cheers!

Bienvenue en Louisiane!

Fantastic Ciara!! Great cocktail!!

As a New Orleans native I appreciate you covering part of our history so eloquently 💘

Another wonderful time ! The things you learn on KZread.

About 45 years ago, when I was a bartender, the only Rye I poured, was Old Overholt Pennsylvania Rye. We called it "Old Overcoat". But it made a good drink, and might work well in this drink. It seems to be available on the internet. Well, good luck and have much fun!

Sazerac Rye is good, Old Overholt is a very nice cheap rye, I would definitely pick up Wild Turkey, Elijah Craig, and Jim Beam Ryes as well. The only issue I have with Bulleit is that they don’t actually make their own rye they buy it from another distiller. All of the others I mentioned make their own which I definitely feel like makes a big difference.

Love the whisky nearly as much i love you ❤️❤️❤️ great vlog

Templeton Rye is wonderful and frequently flies under the radar. I understand it was a favorite of Al Capone.

Wilderness Trail is my new go-to rye.

I've spent a lot of time in New Orleans, I love the Sazerac and Vieux Carre, and yet I have never heard of, much less tried, this cocktail! The ingredients alone are amazing. Thank you!

Sazerac Whisky is the quintessential NOLA Rye.

Time to relax and enjoy a drink with Ciara... Definitely have a collection of alcohol for my bar since watching your channel, never know what's next. Thank you Take Care 😇

St pats, Mr o Doherty what a man, what a teacher, you were good to

The smell of a good rye whiskey or scotch whiskey is amazing, I will agree with you there. There is such a warmth, if warmth had a smell, to it. Louisiana has a whiskey called LA 1. Not sure if you can find it in Ireland, but you may be able to order some on line. Am looking in my local area of Colorado to see if we have it here.

Definitely bump up to 60ml Rye. A Manhattan is always based on 2:1 ratio of Rye:Vermouth, and its variants should be based on that. Typically, Riffs on Manhattans reduce or entirely substitute the Vermouth, not the main spirit. That said, I’m sure this cocktail is good both ways. It might be less offensive to a beginner this way, especially with Bulliet rye. As for that, you must find Rittenhouse bonded 100proof if at all possible in Ireland. 2:1 Rittenhouse + Carpano Antica will make the absolute best Manhattan on the planet, and my recommendation is to use Fee Bros “barrel aged” bitters (2 dash) + “West Indian orange” bitters (2 dash). Alternatively, their black walnut bitters are also excellent in Rye cocktails. Slainte!

Jack Daniels Rye is great, Templeton Rye is nice, Knob Creek rye also has a great flavor.

Pikesville Rye, Rittenhouse Rye, Old Forester Rye, Knob Creek Rye

Redbreast 12. Tullamore 15 Single Malt.

One of my favorites

That drink looks so good...i.must try

You might try Russell's Reserve 6 Year Old Small Batch Rye; it's a smooth but still complex drink and it's only moderately priced (around $50 US or a little less). Great for cocktails, great straight.

A couple of ryes to try are Redemption Rye, which is a 99% rye mash bill, and Old Overholt, which was the only rye available in the US for much of the 60's; its mash bill is only about 51% rye with the rest being corn, so it's considered a bourbon drinker's rye. Old Overholt is one of the three famous "olds," the other two being Old Grand-Dad 100-proof bourbon and Old Crow bourbon.

Sagamore source their Rye from MGP just like Bulliet, but they also do a cask strength version that I'd love to try. Their standard version tastes very similar to Bulliet but is more expensive. Knob creek do a great Rye too with the added bonus of the amusing name

Love cocktails with Ciara! 🙆‍♀️

As some have mentioned, *Rittenhouse Rye* is a must have. It's my go-to rye for a "one and done" (not the name of a cocktail, just at a 100 proof it's one drink and I'm good for the night). *Old Forester Rye* is quite good too (also 100 proof). Old Forester has got more of a "creamy" thing where the Rittenhouse is definitely more spicy. *High West Double Rye* is good (strong spicy with dill/grassy notes). This next one has a smaller distribution, but if you can find it, *Rough Rider Bull Moose Rye* (92 proof) is one of my favorites. It's smooth and balanced and is great for Manhattans, really classy. For something different, if you want to get a good sipping whiskey, you could try *Eifel German Rye Whisky* (92 proof), which is technically a rye whiskey but really stands on it's own. It's quite full flavored with less rye spice and more chocolate and cherry notes (not cheap at $60 USD). Thanks for the vids!

I got Bulleit rye whiskey for the first time the other week and loved it from the very first sip

Pendleton rye is a very good one especially if you can get the homemade version 😉

If you want to try a Nola spirit, consider Herbsaint Anise Liqueur. It's Nola's answer to absinthe that was created during the absinthe ban as a way to achieve the anise flavour without the absinthe label.

You got me hooked on Bulleit bourbon!!

It's the best!

I just picked up 2 bottles of rye. The Virginia ABC had a buy local promotion. I got Catoctin Creek Roundstock Rye and Copper Fox Original Rye. The other rye I have is Jefferson’s Cognac Cask Finished Rye.

For rye, Sazerac, Rittenhouse, and Old Grand-dad are my go to's... Crown Royal northern harvest rye is also very good. For Vermouth, I prefer Dolin or Noily Prat, but Antica Formula is also good, with a bit of licorice to it.

if do go Louisiana i would plan it for Mardi Gras its March 1 next year, its like some one made a Christmas party on Halloween and asked the Devil to Host it

Ever tried a bourbon drink called a Paper Plane? Equal parts Bourbon, Aperol, Amaro Nonino (or Montenegro), and lemon juice. Very refreshing!

Sazerac Rye!!!!

Great color for you

Since you like the anise/ herbal tone maybe try a Chrysanthemum. Dry vermouth, Benedictine and absinthe. Quite “light”..great aperitif.

Cheers!

Nice review 🥃

I like the way you think... recipe calls for 30-60 ml -- 60 it is! 😄👍

so you're going to love Lousiana if you ever visit

Pikesville Rye is my vote.

Might be fun for you to make this with a good bourbon instead of the rye, just to compare/contrast... also, try 30, 45 and 60 ml of the whiskey to see which you think has the best flavor profile. This is what we do at home, looking for the "holy grail" version by trying these kinds of variations.

As far other ryes: Pikesville, WhistlePig, Sazerac, Angels Envy (Rye), Rare Breed (Rye), Michter's are all very mixable Ryes.

Great list. I rank all of them better than Bulleit Rye. Their straight bourbon is fine, but I don't care for their rye at all.

This is a new one for me, which surprises me. And I have all the ingredients! I'll be making this very soon :)

If you're looking for a good rye whiskey, check out Alberta Premium Cask Strength rye. It really stands up in cocktails, and pairs amazingly well with bitters.

This channel has turned me on to Bullet Rye via the Monte Carlo. (Thank you for that!) Which has become my one of my favorites. I have all the ingredients minus the sweet vermouth. I will have to make this!

This channel rocks. Slánte!

Vieux Carré meets Manhattan more like it. Let's leave Sazerac alone - also my favorite - agreed. Santé 🥃

Wow a Whisky drink you never tried/made ? Yes Rye whisky!! Try some Canadian ones. I’m soo happy you went to the max level of Rye!! Your reaction is priceless!! This is a drink that I have to make.

Wild Turkey Rare Breed Rye a classic high proof low Rye whiskey. For something different Balcones Rye, cherry, caramel, smoke, and dark chocolate .

Do try an Improved Whiskey Cocktail if you haven't. Bourbon, Absinthe, Maraschino liqueur, Peychaud's. It's like an Old Fashioned & a Sazerac had a baby!

Nice! :)

That looks like rocket fuel ^^

Desde Quito Ecuador, te saludó, mi querida Ciara me gustó tú cóctel sigue adelanté gracias.

I just tried Red River Rye for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I have no idea if it’s available in Ireland or not, but I’m ready to make the switch from Bulliet to Red River for good. You’re a doll, love the channel!

On your next rye-buying trip, see if you can find Old Overholt. Nothing fancy, but the real thing.

Not a Nola based spirit but you have to buy some green chartreuse and try The Last Word cocktail by Ernest Hemmingway! It's SO strong that I've never been able to finish one, but maybe I'm just a lightweight...

Try a Clarified New York Sour!

Keep it under your hat when plan to visit New Orleans. The crowd joining you on a pub crawl would be larger than the Mardi Gras! Oh what the heck the more the merrier.

Stagg jr. Batch 15 or Batch 13..🥃🥃🥃💯👍

While an Old-Fashioned is my favorite, girl, we need you to take a research trip, an exploration of the delicious, decadent cocktails through New Orleans.

Michter's Rye & Cocchi di Torino Vermouth

Ciara, you need to buy some Basil Hayden Rye (the dark rye if you can find it). It’s fabulous.

Rittenhouse Rye is great for cocktails and even sipping.. also very reasonably priced! My personal favorite Rye (on the nicer side) is Kings County Distillery’s Empire Rye which really made me fall in love with Rye and they even do a more limited run of Bottled in Bond Empire Rye which is pretty unique. King’s County also makes my favorite Bourbon their Bottled in Bond Bourbon as well as my go to bourbon… their Straight Bourbon. All have won numerous awards and the guy who started the company is so cool a really just loves making dope whiskey. I still want to send you some bottles but I’m having to look a little harder to find any of the Empire Rye as it has apparently sold out.. perhaps you’ll get one of my bottles.🤷🏻‍♂️🥃cheers!

HOnestly, have you contacted Luxardo about a sponsorship here? You make a great spokesperson for a luscious Luxardo cherry in so many cocktails besides just the old fashioned....they should love the concept.

Another port o call for us on Ciara's journey. Le se le bon ton roullette

La Fée is read La Fay/Fey rather than fee because of the accent of the e, it make the sound ey (é) I hope I explained well 😭😂 but nonetheless I love how you pronounce it though 🥺 You’ve perfectly pronounced La Louisiane though! 🤍

It's not just you... Whisky smells good. Bourbon, cigarettes and Old Spice was my grandfather's scent. Good memories.

You should try a penicillin!!

Hot buttered rum!

I've gone through many bottles of rye and found that some are better for mixing, some are better straight, and some do both well. For mixing I like Old Overholt Bottled In Bond 100 proof, it makes an excellent Manhattan. Other good ones are the 80 proof Old Overholt, Rittenhouse Bottled In Bond and Redemption. For drinking straight I like Bulleit, Old Forester, Redwood Empire Emerald Giant Rye and Templeton Barrel Strength. Knob Creek, James E. Pepper, Puckett's Branch, Sazerac and Woodford Reserve ryes were good either way. I don't think I've had Michter's but I hear it's a good one. Whistle Pig is supposed to be excellent but a bit pricey; it may be best straight. Happy Hunting! Maybe round some up and have a few folks for a tasting?

Always round up to 60 mls if given the option 😁

Ciara, when are you making the pilgrimage to New Orleans? Food, Booze, good times. haha.

It's the Peychaud's Bitters that makes the difference.

Enjoyed this video. I would love to make a few recommendations. For a rye that will create a more bold, flavorful cocktail, I's recommend Rittenhouse Bottled in Bond Rye (100 proof),. It is my personal favorite low cost rye. Its flavor exceeds what you'd expect for such low price. I would recommend Yzaguirre Reserva Vermouth a Spanish brand that has a lovely sweetness tempered with herbal notes.

I love how you claim to not be an expert, but I'm coming here to learn more about alcohol 😅

I would love to tell you how I make it. But I don’t make it. Nor have I tried it. That’s about to change. The only part of that drink currently at my house is absinthe. I have some shopping to do. Thanks for another great video.

I'm a lover of rye, but my first introduction to a whiskey drink was the Monte Carlo, not the Old Fashioned. Frankly, I appreciate it more, a little more refined I think, but for a slosh like me, a lot more expensive. You've got rye, Benedictine and bitters, give it a try..!

Since the cocktail originated in New Orleans my guess is that they mean 30-60 based on the size of glass that's available

Buy the cherries in Bulk ! :-)

Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye

You should contact the sazarac house in New Orleans. They have a few whiskey/bourbons that are stunning.

Gibsons 12 year or alberta premium are fantastic ryes.
