Chivas Regal Satin Manhattan ...Smooth and Tasty Manhattan Recipe
Favorite Restaurant Drink Recipe
A friend of mine and regular restaurant customer ordered a Chivas Regal
Satin Manhattan one day not long ago.
To be honest, I had never made this drink before. I told him so and he
smiled at the opportunity to teach me a new drink.
He explained the Manhattan drink had to be made only with Chivas Regal
to claim the name "Satin Manhattan."
I got the bottle of Chivas off the self on the back bar and asked what else was in the drink.
Just a little vanilla liqueur and a dash or two of bitters.
He encouraged me to put the drink together and he'd taste it. If it wasn't exactly right, I could try
again (and again) until I got it just perfect. Of course, he'd continue to taste until the "mission"
was accomplished.
Much to his surprise and disappointment I "nailed" the recipe on my first try. He was honest to
say so. ☺

As my friend was finishing his Manhattan, I asked him where he'd had this beverage before. He
said he had just returned from visiting a friend in New York City and his friend had ordered the
drink so he thought he’d do likewise. I gathered the drink is better known in that area than on the
West Coast.
