figgy bourbon, sweet vermouth, bitters & a cinnamon stick, served up or on the rocks.
The oldest known recipe for a Manhattan is from Harry Johnson, author of the 1882 guide, "Bartender's Manual of How to Mix Drinks." His recipe calls for a pony of vermouth, a half pony of whiskey, Angostura bitters, and “gum syrup.” We’ve nixed the gum syrup, whatever that is, and we’re using a house-made, fig-infused bourbon for an extra layer of flavor.
