SUMMER Manhattan

A Manhattan with a taste of summer. Fresh cherries, fragrant herbs, and a spoonful of Aperol brighten this classic cocktail while letting the whisky remain the star. Same Manhattan. Better weather.

Add to a mixing glass:

  • 1 ½ oz Laneway Far & Wide Whisky

  • ¾ oz sweet red vermouth

  • barspoon Aperol

  • sprig of fresh rosemary, thyme or mint

  • 6 halved, pitted fresh cherries

Muddle to crush the cherries. Add in a sprig of fresh herb, stir gently and let sit 5 minutes to infuse.

Add ice and stir or shake to chill.

Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with:

  • Halved fresh cherries

  • Sprig of the same fresh herb you used in mixing – this will enhance the drinking experience, giving a fresh, summery aroma.

“I came for one drink and now I’m emotionally attached to your patio.”
