"What We Drank this Weekend that Will Get You Through the Week\n\nFacebookPinterest\n\n Debates over the Manhattan&amp;amp;#x2013;which typically transpire over a Manhattan&amp;amp;#x2013;tend to be of the this-or-that variety: Angostura versus orange bitters; rye whiskey versus bourbon; up or on the rocks. After that, what's left to discuss? It's a relatively simple drink: two ounces of whiskey, less than an ounce of vermouth, plus bitters, cherry&amp;amp;#x2013;and print! \n\nOr so I thought.\n\nIt's only now, having tasted the Manhattan 2.0, that I understand what was absent from the great Manhattan debate: breakfast condiments. Specifically: maple syrup. The Manhattan 2.0 is a variation on the perfect Manhattan--with the welcome addition of Vermont's sappiest. This syrup-enhanced version opens on a soothing note; there's something comforting in the flavor&amp;amp;#x2013;nostalgic, almost&amp;amp;#x2013;like the promise of a fireplace on a cold winter day. The maple rounds out the flavor of the cocktail exactly where I find traditional perfect Manhattans to be lacking.\n\nAs for whiskey, go with Basil Hayden's. At eighty proof, it packs a lesser punch than some of its small-batch brethren, but it's also more forgiving when mid and doesn't overpower its companion ingredients. Plus, Basil Hayden's has a remarkably high rye content, satisfying folks on both sides of the rye-bourbon divide. And the best part? The Manhattan 2.0 gives you an excuse to break out that bottle of maple syrup that's lying idle in between your pancake and French toast cravings, cluttering your fridge. And if you discover that all the syrup's been swallowed next time you're craving a short stack, just pour some bourbon on your breakfast.\n\n The Basil Hayden's Manhattan 2.0\n\n1&amp;amp;#xBD; parts Basil Hayden's\n\n &amp;amp;#xBD; part sweet vermouth\n\n &amp;amp;#xBD; part dry vermouth\n\n &amp;amp;#xBD; part maple syrup\n\n 2 dashes of bitter\n\nShake ingredients, or stir in a rocks glass over ice.
