Review:

Bourbon and toffee orange. This was originally a shaken drink so in this stirred recipe I've added a splash of water to replicate the dilution imparted by shaking. However, perhaps better to forgo this and serve on-the-rocks in an old-fashioned glass.

History:

A riff on the classic Manhattan cocktail discovered in the 1990s at The Met Bar in Metropolitan Hotel, London, England.
