Manhattan

IBA

Emerging from New York in the latter half of the 19th century, the Manhattan helped establish the template for the stirred, spirit-forward cocktail that still defines a category of bartending. Rye whiskey's spicy grain character is softened and enriched by sweet vermouth, while Angostura bitters provide an aromatic backbone that ties the whole composition together.
