Popular history suggests that the Manhattan cocktail originated in New York City in the mid-1870s. Bittermilk has crafted a mixer that recreates the taste of one that’s been aged in bourbon barrels. By combining de-alcoholized port wine with grapes, raisins, and a touch of cherry, they replicate the sweet vermouth flavor beautifully. This blend is aged in Willett bourbon barrels, imparting rich notes of charred oak and vanilla. To achieve the perfect balance, they incorporate the brand’s signature No.1 Bitter Formula, which adds a layer of complex bitterness to boot. The result is equally as good mixed with rye, bourbon, or soda water, the latter offering a non-alcoholic sipper.
