The Manhattan is a heavy-weight of the classic cocktail world. Simple to make and with strong robust flavours, it’s the perfect strong sipper. If you love whiskey or an Old Fashioned, try this drink. We have selected 3 spirits that work brilliantly together for a punchy Manhattan. Firstly, Rittenhouse 100 proof rye is strong and spicy but still allows the deep botanicals and cola flavours of the vermouth to come through. We love the cinnamon notes from Fee Brothers Bitters in a Manhattan, especially playing against the spicy rye. This bundle will make many amazing cocktails!

More on these spirits

Rittenhouse Rye has a storied past with a heritage that commemorates Philadelphia’s famous Rittenhouse Square. Bottled-in-Bond, today’s Rittenhouse Straight Rye Whiskey carries the distinct, spicy flavour that is long associated with the brand. Rittenhouse is the Rye Whisky of choice for both mixologists and whisky aficionados alike. The spicy notes in this whiskey blend perfectly into boozy sippers or mixed with citrus and cognacs in some New Orleans style drinks.

Cocchi Extra Dry Vermouth is a classic-style Italian vermouth from Piedmont.

Cocchi presents a style which is uniquely Piedmontese and elegant. It celebrates one of the most important regions of vermouth production in the world with Piedmontese wine and local wormwood, lemon and mint grown in the famous area of Pancalieri.
