A little history…
The Manhattan is a classic cocktail of choice for whiskey-lovers. This delightful mix of rye or bourbon whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters has been adored for hundreds of years because of its subtle bitterness and herbal undertones. Seasoned drinkers can pick up on the hint of sweetness from sweet vermouth and the caramel-like aroma of bourbon.
