Tokyo Drift

Boozy yet delicate, beautifully balanced and complex. This Japanese whisky riff on a classic Manhattan benefits from freshening aniseed and minty notes...

This was quite a solid drink, but I felt my Japanese whiskey (Kaiyo 5 Wood) was overwhelmed by the other ingredients.I might need to try a different base that has a more pronounced character, to avoid losing the nuance and complexity of the whiskey.

An excellent autumn cocktail. We played with it by using Hibiki Harmony whiskey, reduced volume to 50ml and Chartreuse 7.5ml, instead of Strega. This cocktail has the Manhattan DNA, establishes delicate balance and adds herbal nuance. Definitely on our fall menu.
