Swine & Sea — Manhattan — French Creole Recipe

Manhattan

If I haven’t been obvious enough, a fire, a cocktail with the Fall air is high on my list these days. The Fall moves me into bourbons and gins as my base with the Manhattan making the top of the list. While traditionally served neat, I prefer a singular large format cube to force the sip.
