Cocktail Description
This brilliant twist on the classic Manhattan transforms breakfast's favorite citrus spread into cocktail hour brilliance.
Buffalo Trace bourbon provides a sturdy backbone of vanilla and caramel, while the marmalade infuses the drink with bright orange oils and a subtle bittersweet complexity that harmonizes perfectly with the herbal notes in the sweet vermouth. The Angostura orange bitters add depth without overwhelming the delicate balance of flavors. Though it requires a bit of patience to properly dissolve the marmalade into the bourbon, this cocktail is surprisingly straightforward to prepare and rewards with a silky mouthfeel and sophisticated flavor profile. Perfect for serving at dinner parties where you want to impress without spending the entire evening mixing drinks, it pairs beautifully with rich dishes like duck breast, maple-glazed pork, or dark chocolate desserts. The Bourbon Marmalade Manhattan makes an excellent winter or fall sipper when you're craving something with depth that still offers bright notes of citrus.
