You can easily make a sessionable Manhattan by reversing the specs of a classic Manhattan but it results in a fairly sweet cocktail that lacks complexity. This is where sherry and vermouth step in to fill the gap.
Amontillado sherry typically has nutty characteristics whilst dry vermouth displays grape, citrus and herbaceous notes. Adding both of these ingredients bring more character and depth to this low-ABV version of the classic Manhattan.
Sherry and vermouth are both versatile and inexpensive ingredients so I strongly recommend having them on your back bar (*ahem* fridge).
If you are looking for more ways to use both these bottles then you can’t go past a Sherry Cobbler, Clover Club or a Dry Martini.

Steve, please reply to me if you want the best recipe for a Mr Black cocktail of all time. I've been trying to get in touch for the next contest, but I don't know how to access that. Thanks!
Glad to have you back and looking healthy… Hope you’re recovering well. Wonderful idea for a reverse manhattan
I love the idea of making lower proof variants.
Good to see you, Steve. Didn’t realise you had been unwell. Great cocktail.
Oh wow, using a cheese slicer for the lemon skin makes pretty good sense
It works really well 👍 Boska is the particular brand.
I've been using Regal Rougue sweet vermouth .. best mixer for a Manhattan and/or boulivardier I've found
Steve - this is a hell of a drink! I tried it just now and it was delicious. I used Carpano Antica Formula and Noilly Prat Original Dry (the OGs), and they blend so well with the amontillado and rye. Recognisably a Manhattan, full of complexity, but with a bit less abv. Definitely adding this to my repertoire. Cheers!
You’re looking fit and happy, mate. Keep it up!
Thanks mate! 🙏
Good to see your energy level getting higher man. Hope you feel better for every minute, this is my absolute favourite cocktail channel 😁
Love how this came out! Such a great idea too!
Already keen to give this a go. Awesome video Steve 🍸
Interesting will give it a go with a switch to cocchi Di Torino vermouth
I appreciate the tasting notes!
I'd love to see more lower abv or even zero alc cocktails!
I do love a Manhattan and more of a reason to drink more of them!
Love this! As I age, I can't roll like I used to and frankly don't have any desire to do so- so sessionable? Oh my yes! I've been cutting back on the alc content for a while now in my cocktails, although an occasional dram of whiskey as a night cap has its place. Even in beer I'm finding myself looking for the lower ABV options more often. So glad you made this vid- hope to see the subject matter more often!
You are looking so healthy Steve!! Fabulous!! This beauty is also fabulous and I can't wait to try it! I like this Vermouth-forward version and I like a little less proof in some of my cocktails. You rock!! Stay well and it's amazing to have you back with weekly videos!! Cheers!! 🙂
Steve, you look amazing!
Looks great! I love cocktails with amontillado, it’s a great complex flavour to incorporate into mixed drinks.
Great idea, I'd love to see more lower ABV drinks. Just brewed a dark mild with 4% and love it. Found a new passion for sessionable drinks
Due enjoy Reverse Manhattans as well as Manhattans over ice to lengthen the experience. The tweak with sherry do point at the vermouth can bring great flavours and can be boosted with fortified wines.
I've done almost an identical drink, but with slightly different proportions. Less sweet vermouth and more sherry. I've also done it with tawny port, which I really like. I didn't know what to call it, though! I also usually add just a bit of orange bitters.
Thanks for this. I'm on the lookout for low alcohol cocktails since I'm in the unfortunate position of having a health condition that is triggered by alcohol. I'm actually more interested in total alcohol than ABV. Using the ingredients I have on hand, this one comes in at about 23ml of alcohol. While somewhat higher than something like a Amalienb (at 17ml) it was a very enjoyable drink. Hoping you will post more low alcohol cocktails.
Hi Steve, would you make The Tuxedo coctail and its 3 vafiations, please? Thank you
It does make me giggle a little bit how the low abv options has a couple of alcoholic ingredients with the shortest shelf life 😂 (I do understand it's because of the low abv and fortified things blah blah lol) but this will be fab if we have some people around who are taking it easy 🥰 Would love to see more low abv drinks that are actually fun to drink
Great video but why use the 100 proof rye when trying to make a lower proof drink given there are plenty of lower ABV ryes available?
Hi Steve, This is an interesting take on a low ABV Manhattan. The flavours look to combine in an jnterssting way.
Never seen a citrus peeler like that one! Any recommendations or a link to get one?
I'd call this a reverse, sherried, perfect manhattan? Sounds delicious!
I'm surprised how much I enjoy sherry in cocktails
First time I’m seeing you without a beard!! :O 🧔♂️
I really do like the glass, would perfectly fit to my other bar glasses. Can you provide a link to order it, please.
I wonder if that rye ever killed anybody...
If you're reading this, drink more sherry!
I’m considering making a Manhattan with a “non alcoholic sweet vermouth” by the brand Lyre. Let you know how it goes
sharpen your knife my man, that lemon peel's laughing at you
Done. Sharpened this morning 👍
Na! F that!
STEVE!!! Is this you, are your younger representative!!! Anyways, awesome spin on this classic. I'll have to try this for sure!!! CHEERS to you!!!
