Manhattan

February 22, 2023 by Gabe Leave a Comment

Inspired by a craft Manhattan, our aim was for a well-balanced and sophisticated cocktail. The end result is a multidimensional cocktail that is flavorful with tons of herb and spice undertones. Massage it to suit your taste–and of course, let us know what you think in the comments below!

Ingredients:

  • 2-3 dashes Fee brothers black walnut bitters
  • 1 1/2 oz Seedlip Spice 94
  • 1 teaspoon fresh brewed espresso
  • 1/4-1/2 oz pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 oz Luxardo maraschino cherry juice
  • 1/2 oz Lucini white balsamic vinegar
  • Cherry and orange peel, for garnish

Instructions:

Fill a shaker with ice. Add all the ingredients except your garnish to the shaker. Shake well to mix. Strain the mixture into a chilled glass. Add a large ice cube to the glass. Express the orange peel over the drink to release its essential oils, then use it to garnish the drink. Serve immediately and enjoy.

This soft Manhattan has a complex, well-balanced flavor with a touch of sweetness from the cherry juice and syrup. The balsamic provides a tangy fruit flavor, and the Seedlip Spice works with the bitters to provide slightly bitter but aromatic citrus top notes.

Gold Rush Manhattan

February 22, 2023 by Gabe Leave a Comment

A classic cocktail featuring whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters; the Manhattan is zhuzh-ed up here, removing the liquor while adding some “grandeur” to this sophisticated, upscale alternative.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz unsweetened cranberry juice
  • 1 oz freshly squeezed blood orange juice
  • 1 oz vanilla simple syrup (recipe below)
  • 2-3 dashes of peach bitters
  • Blood orange wheel, for garnish
  • Edible gold flakes, for garnish

Instructions:

Fill a shaker with ice. Add the cranberry juice, blood orange juice, vanilla-infused simple syrup, and peach bitters to the shaker. Shake well to mix. Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass. Express the blood orange wheel over the drink to release its essential oils, then use it to garnish the drink. Sprinkle a few edible gold flakes over the drink for a touch of elegance. Serve immediately and enjoy.

This Soft Manhattan is a sophisticated, upscale version of the classic cocktail. The use of blood orange juice adds a bright, juicy flavor and a striking, reddish-orange color. The vanilla-infused simple syrup provides a sweet, floral flavor, and the peach bitters provide a fruity, floral aroma. The edible gold flakes add a touch of elegance and glamour, making this drink perfect for a special occasion or an upscale event.
