How to Make the Essential Coffee Cocktail to Beat the 5 P.M. Slump | Esquire + Doubleshot

From 9 to 5 – as far as drinks go – coffee is king. And in the canon of classic whiskey cocktails, the Manhattan is a recipe that every guy should have in his back pocket. So it just makes sense that we’ve brought the two together in a drink we’re calling the Joe Manhattan – a nicely balanced iteration of the classic topped with Starbucks Doubleshot Espresso for the requisite energy boost to start out the evening. Use this recipe to make it for one, or scale up to fuel a crowd. INGREDIENTS: 1 oz. rye whiskey 1 oz. dry vermouth ¼ oz. maraschino liqueur Dash of bitters 1 oz. (or as desired) Starbucks Doubleshot Espresso DIRECTIONS: Combine first four ingredients in a mixing glass. Add ice and stir. Pour over ice in a rocks glass. Top with Starbucks Doubleshot Espresso.
