Bitters / Bourbon / Creme de Cacao / Daily Mix / Maraschino / Uncategorized / Vermouth (sweet & dry)
The MANHATTAN SWEET W/ BITTER CHOCOLATE adds a teaspoon of creme de cacao and Maraschino liqueur plus a dash of Chocolate bitters to the standard Manhattan. In so doing, the bourbon and vermouth are complimented to perfection with the hint...
