There’s not much that needs to be said about this fantastic Manhattan Variation, it’s simple, it’s delicious and it was one of the drinks I really obsessed over in my early bartending days. It’s one of those drinks which is simple AND complex. Layers of flavor but tiny tweaks from the original. For me this is masterful drink making. Taking something and tweaking it slightly but changing it enough that it changes the conversation (so to speak). It’s summertime and because of that the focus is going to be on crushable citrusy cocktails and tiki, which is great but I always strive to add in some stirred drinks (We need variety!) Thing is the perception is that stirred drinks are strong and bold and cold weather staples. I’m happy to present to you something which defies those tropes and gives you a light, summer-ish stirred drink. Enjoy!
