THE PERFECT MANHATTAN

THE PERFECT MANHATTAN 25

One cannot go wrong with a Manhattan. “Perfect” here refers not to the quality of the cocktail, but to the equal amounts of sweet and dry vermouth used to make it. This recipe creates a fantastic variation on the whiskey Manhattan and is a great way to use your favourite bourbon.
