"This is an iconic NYC beverage. I would say, buy the real thing! But for purposes of Culinary Quest 3, going to try this homemade version, side by side with a bottle of the real thing that I've been hiding from DH for a month. Sounds very, very interesting!!! Makes 4 10 oz servings. NOTE: Time does not include fermentation and chilling time - 2 days! This will NOT be as sweet as the real Manhattan Special, but it DOES have a stronger coffee flavor. Adjust to your liking!"
Original is 4 servings

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Boil 1 cup of water with the sugar, remove from heat and stir in the espresso powder.
Note: to be more like the real thing (super sweet), use a full cup of sugar.
Step 2
Add the remaining cold water to the hot syrup, sprinkle in the yeast and pour the whole mess into a plastic soda bottle (it won’t fill the bottle, the extra room is for carbonation gasses).
Step 3
Cap tightly and leave at room temperature for two days then stick in the fridge long enough to chill.
Step 4
*It’ll have a huge foamy head like a stout beer when you crack it open, just squeeze that out of the bottle to get to the good stuff. This recipe makes a strong coffee flavor but not too sweet version. Tweak espresso powder and sugar to taste.*
