History

A Brandy Manhattan variation without bitters. Spirit-forward and dry, yet easy.

This pre-Prohibition cocktail, known at the Plaza Hotel in New York before Prohibition, was published in the 1923 book "Harry" of Ciro's ABC of Mixing Cocktails. The Carrol Cocktail calls for: "1/3 Italian Vermouth, 2/3 Brandy. Serve with pickled walnut in cocktail glass."
