Description
The Tequila Manhattan is an exciting twist on the timeless Manhattan. In this drink, the traditional rye whiskey is replaced by a rested reposado tequila. This change gives the cocktail a whole new dimension: the earthy, slightly sweet agave notes of the tequila blend wonderfully with the herbal sweetness of the vermouth and the spice of the bitters. A potent and sophisticated sipping drink for the adventurous connoisseur.
Preparation
- Pre-chill a coupe glass with ice.
- Add all ingredients to a mixing glass filled with ice cubes.
- Stir for about 30 seconds until well-chilled.
- Strain the contents through a bar strainer into the chilled glass.
- Express an orange peel over the drink and add it as a garnish.
