Cocktail Description
The Manhattan Dry transforms America's native spirit into an elegant, contemplative cocktail that bridges the gap between a Manhattan and a classic Martini.
This sophisticated sipper combines the rich caramel and vanilla notes of Buffalo Trace bourbon with the herbaceous qualities of dry vermouth, while Angostura bitters provide depth and complexity. Each sip offers a beautiful balance—the bourbon's warmth softened by the vermouth's botanical character, with the citrus garnish adding a bright aromatic finish. Perfect for a pre-dinner drink or nightcap, the Manhattan Dry shines during autumn and winter evenings when its warming qualities are most appreciated. Even cocktail novices can master this drink since it requires only basic stirring technique and three readily available ingredients. The cocktail pairs wonderfully with savory appetizers like aged cheese, charcuterie, or smoked nuts, while its robust character stands up beautifully to heartier fare such as steak or game dishes.
