About the Das Boots
A Manhattan with a little edge. Garrison Brothers Small Batch and sweet vermouth do the classic work, and half an ounce of Jägermeister brings a dark, herbal, bittersweet streak. Stirred, served over a big cube and finished with an orange peel.
Questions, answered
Is Das Boots a Manhattan?
It's built like one, with bourbon, sweet vermouth and bitters, stirred. Jägermeister adds an herbal, licorice-tinged edge.
What sweet vermouth works best?
A rich, Italian-style sweet vermouth stands up to the Jägermeister. Keep opened vermouth in the fridge.
Can I batch it for a party?
Yes. One 750 ml bottle of Small Batch makes about 12 drinks. Combine it with 6¼ oz each of Jägermeister and sweet vermouth and about ¾ oz orange bitters. Add 7¾ oz cold water, chill, and pour about 3½ oz per glass over a large cube.
