The Cocktail Classics: Manhattan Recipe

To me, the Manhattan positively oozes charm, class and is absolutely fabulous (or maybe that’s just my association with it in Sex and the City). Just FYI whiskey-based Manhattan is one of five cocktails named for one of New York City’s five boroughs (#themoreyouknow).

It’s also surprisingly versatile, you can serve it up in a cocktail glass or you can even have it on the rocks in a lowball glass (whatever suits your fancy). The Manhattan is definitely an iconic cocktail and this easy recipe from Liquor will help you recreate it to the tee.
