Characterful rums combine and shine in this Rum Manhattan.

This "Martini" might be lengthened with lemonade, but it retains the essence of a proper Dry Martini, both in flavour and punch. As with a Martini...

Zesty with the sharp freshness of grapefruit and a hint of orange, rounded with dry vermouth.

A Vodka Martini given a Japanese influence with sake and Japanese whisky. Omit the sugar syrup if you like your Martinis bone dry.
