A Rich & Smoky Manhattan takes the timeless elegance of the classic Manhattan - traditionally a balanced blend of whiskey, sweet vermouth and bitters - and turns up the depth with a bold, smoky character. In this version, Johnnie Walker Black Label adds layers of warmth and complexity that mingle beautifully with the herbal sweetness of vermouth and the aromatic bite of bitters. Stirred over ice and served up with a dried apricot garnish, it’s a sophisticated, full-bodied cocktail that brings a rich aromatic twist to a beloved classic.
