Jul 4, 2022

It's been two years since Hamilton dropped on Disney Plus, and we think that's a great reason to organize your own watch party - with accompanying drinks, of course.

We've collected the recipes for all four cocktails you can buy at the lobby of the Richard Rogers Theatre - ones that any Hamilton watch party will need.

Check out Hamilton's Founder's Fizz, Hamiltini, Dueling Sangrias, and Burrbon Manhattan:

 

 

Hamilton’s Founder’s Fizz

Serves: 1

Ingredients:

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup water

  2. Combine 1.5 oz. gin, 1 oz. simple syrup, a splash of lime juice, and ice in a cocktail shaker.

  3. Cover and shake vigorously.

  4. Strain into a highball glass filled with ice and fill with seltzer.

1 peach sliced

1/4 c. granulated sugar

1/4 c. Grand Marnier

1 apple sliced

1 (750-ml.) bottle white wine chilled

Burrbon Manhattan

Serves: 1

Ingredients:

2 1/2 ounces bourbon whiskey

1-ounce sweet vermouth

2 to 3 dashes aromatic bitters

Maraschino cherry for garnish

Orange peel for garnish

 

Preparation:

  1. Fill a martini glass to the brim with ice so it chills while you make the Manhattan.

  2. Add whiskey, sweet vermouth and bitters to a shaker or glass with a few ice cubes, and then stir or gently shake. Do not over do it, you do not want the ice to water down the drink.

  3. Discard ice from martini glass then strain Manhattan into the chilled glass and garnish with cherry and orange peel.
