Delicious! The bitters perfectly balances the sweetness of the Grand Marnier. This is our new go-to Manhattan!
super easy and just as fancy as those $16 speakeasy cocktails. i used eagle rare bourbon ($28) and martini rossi “rosso”.
Delicious! If you love a good Manhattan, you will love this drink. I find drinking Manhattan’s more of a Winter drink, yet this one with the orange liqueur lightens it a bit, which makes it great for Summer. Very good cocktail.
