Drink This: Darkness Divides Manhattan

Ah, the Manhattan. It’s a classic cocktail that welcomes a creative, modern twist. With so many styles of single-batch bourbons and whiskeys, the classic deserves a new hat.

This drink pays homage to the original while kicking things up with an extra-boozy recipe.
