Vanilla Vodka, Cointreau and Dry Vermouth

Rye whiskey, dry vermouth and Angostura bitters. Garnished with a maraschino cherry. As you have no doubt realized, the difference between this and a standard Manhattan is that this uses dry vermouth instead of red vermouth.

Difford’s Guide claims the name originates from the cricketing term. In cricket, a ball that bounces more than once or rolls before reaching the batsman is called a Daisy Cutter. I have no idea what that has got to do with the drink.

This vodka, dry vermouth, elderflower liqueur and yellow chartreuse garnished with some slapped mint leaves.
