Manhatten

The Manhattan is a quintessential American cocktail, revered for its bold, balanced flavor and historical pedigree dating back to the late 19th century. It blends whiskey—traditionally rye—with sweet vermouth and aromatic bitters, creating a complex profile that’s both smooth and slightly spicy. Often associated with refined, urban drinking culture, the Manhattan remains a staple of classic cocktail menus worldwide, typically served with a cherry garnish for a hint of richness.
