Review:
Intensely flavoured with sweet notes balanced by generous dashes of bitters.
History:
Josh Morton, owner/founder of Barrow's Intense Ginger Liqueur, introduced me to this cocktail in January 2023, saying, "It's a great low ABV cocktail that came out of me asking a bartender 7-8 yrs ago for an Intense Manhattan - expecting them to substitute out all or part of the vermouth with Barrow's Intense - instead, they replaced the Whiskey. I didn't think it would work but it's amazing - the Punt e Mes make it. It's also how it got its name."
