Stiletto Manhattan

The STILETTO MANHATTAN adds a small portion of Amaretto to whiskey and dry vermouth, creating a dressed-up and well-balanced alternative Manhattan. The small amount of almond-flavored liqueur is just sweet enough to counter the dry vermouth without overpowering it, resulting...

Dirty Martini

Absinthe Martini

The ABSINTHE MARTINI takes the classic gin martini and adds a touch of Absinthe, making it anise-fresh, icy-smooth and boozy. While strong, it goes down like a light digestive. The licorice flavor adds balance to the botanicals of gin. Requirements:...
