Canadian Manhattan
The Canadian Manhattan is a nuanced rendition of the traditional Manhattan, swapping out the classic rye or bourbon for Canadian whisky. This adaptation elevates the cocktail with the smooth and slightly sweet profile of Canadian whisky, adding a unique depth to the drink. With the perfect blend of sweet vermouth, bitters, and the distinctive Canadian whisky, this cocktail offers a harmonious balance of flavors. Served neat or on the rocks and garnished with a cherry or lemon twist, the Canadian Manhattan presents a refined and flavorful alternative for whisky enthusiasts seeking a twist on a timeless classic.
