Andys Manhatten

The Andy's Manhattan is a delightful twist on the classic Manhattan cocktail, offering a nuanced blend of flavors that elevate the traditional recipe. This cocktail features 2 ounces of Canadian whisky, known for its smooth and mild characteristics, which serve as the backbone of the drink. The addition of 1 tablespoon of orange liqueur introduces a citrusy sweetness that complements the whisky's warmth, while 1 tablespoon of sweet vermouth adds depth and a touch of herbal complexity. To balance these flavors, two dashes of bitters are included, providing a subtle spice and aromatic quality that ties the drink together.

The history of the Manhattan cocktail dates back to the late 19th century, believed to have been created at the Manhattan Club in New York City. While the original Manhattan uses American whiskey, Andy's Manhattan opts for Canadian whisky, offering a smoother alternative. This version, with its unique blend of orange liqueur, sweet vermouth, and bitters, showcases how classic cocktails can be adapted to create new and interesting variations while still honoring the essence of the original. Andy's Manhattan is perfect for those who appreciate a well-balanced, slightly sweeter take on a time-honored favorite.
