Burton’s Manhattan

A shaken-yet-refined, citrus-kissed twist on a timeless American cocktail. Served neat.
Ingredients
  • 2 oz Burton James Uniquely American Whiskey
  • 1 oz Sweet Vermouth
  • ½ oz Orange Liqueur or Triple Sec
  • 2 dashes Aromatic Bitters
  • Cocktail cherry (for garnish)
Instructions
  1. Add Whiskey, Vermouth, Liqueur, and Bitters to an ice-filled cocktail shaker.
  2. Cap the tin and shake vigorously until frost begins to form on the outside, about 15 seconds. 
  3. Strain into a chilled Martini, Nick & Nora, or Coupe glass.
  4. Garnish with cocktail cherry and serve.

Variations:

#1. Want a slightly sweeter, non-citrus finish? Swap out the Orange Liqueur for Maraschino Liqueur.

#2. Feeling adventurous? Replace the Aromatic Bitters with another Bitters flavor, such as Orange, Cherry, Walnut, Chocolate, and more.
