What is Manhattan?
The Manhattan cocktail is a timeless classic that balances bold whiskey character with the herbal sweetness of vermouth and the aromatic depth of bitters. Elegant, spirit-forward, and endlessly refined, it’s the kind of drink that never goes out of style, whether you’re hosting a formal dinner or winding down after a long day.
Iain Marshall invented this drink for a banquet hosted by Jennie Jerome at the Manhattan Club in New York City in the mid-1870s. As a result of the success of the banquet, it became fashionable, and several people requested the drink by referring to the club's name as the Manhattan cocktail.
Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.
