Cocktail Description
The Tequila Manhattan takes the brooding intensity of a classic Manhattan and gives it a south-of-the-border swagger that will wake up your taste buds.
This elegant variation swaps whiskey for the warm vanilla and subtle oak notes of reposado tequila, creating a cocktail that maintains the sophisticated character of the original while introducing bright agave undertones. The sweet vermouth adds depth with its herbal complexity, while Angostura bitters bring balance and that characteristic Manhattan spice. Perfect for cocktail enthusiasts looking to expand their repertoire, this drink makes an excellent choice for dinner parties or when you want to impress friends with something familiar yet unexpected. Since it only requires stirring a few ingredients together, even novice home bartenders can master it quickly. The Tequila Manhattan pairs beautifully with rich Mexican dishes like mole poblano, grilled steak tacos, or even a simple cheese board featuring aged manchego and membrillo (quince paste).
