This week’s featured drink is straight off the Batter Blue Bar’s Signature Concoctions menu, the Venetian Manhattan at the Mad Batter!
This drink of the week is an incredible twist on a classic Manhattan if you are looking to try something new this holiday season. Bartender Matt combined ice, Buffalo Trace Bourbon, Sweet Vermouth, Angostura Bitters, and Cynar in a cocktail shaker. Once the ingredients were stirred together, he pulled out a thermometer to check the temperature of the drink to bring it down to freezing. He poured the drink into a martini glass, added an orange twist, and it was ready to be served! Bourbon fans will love this variation of a Manhattan, so plan a trip to the Mad Batter and try the drink for yourself.
