Inventor: Bistro du Midi sommelier Todd Lipman

Ingredients: Michter’s 10 Year Bourbon, black truffle-infused Dolin sweet vermouth, Carpano Antica Formula, housemade black truffle syrup, white truffle honey rim

Try it if you’re looking for: “A luxurious Manhattan.” And a stiff drink. With two and half ounces of bourbon, you’ll only need to order one.

Make it a double: If you’re generous enough to share, the drink can be served in two glasses.

Taste: “There’s a little bit of the heat from the bourbon,” and a lot of truffle going on, but the white truffle honey “doesn’t flavor the drink,” Lipman says. “Ultimately it’s an aromatic component.”

Pair it with: A dish that’s “fully flavored with some earthy elements.” Lipman suggests the prime rib-eye, braised lamb neck or, if you’re feeling fish, monkfish au poivre, adding, “It and this cocktail are very good friends.”

Sweeten the meal: Lipman enjoys the smokiness of the Carpano Antica Formula: “It really lends something special to anything where you can use sweet vermouth.” It’s also his aperitif of choice, on the rocks with an orange twist.

Tea for round two: Bistro du Midi’s latest drink addition is Thé de Marin: housemade Earl Grey syrup, Brugal Añejo rum, VSOP brandy and an orange peel. Lipman notes, “The [tea’s] hint of bitterness really brings out the vanilla in the rum. And then the brandy openly adds a little bit of spice to it.”
