About Manhattan (Dry)

The Manhattan (Dry) is a sophisticated and elegant cocktail that combines the robust flavors of whiskey with the crisp, slightly bitter notes of dry vermouth. Often garnished with olives, this variation of the classic Manhattan offers a more savory and less sweet profile, making it a distinguished choice for those who appreciate a complex and balanced drink.

The origins of the Manhattan cocktail trace back to the late 19th century, with its creation commonly attributed to a bartender at the Manhattan Club in New York City. While the original Manhattan typically features sweet vermouth, the dry version is a refined twist that caters to those who prefer a drier, more aromatic experience. This cocktail has endured through the decades, maintaining its status as a timeless classic in the world of mixology.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Coupe Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
