This time of year is all about those Christmas traditions. You've got the tree, the turkey (or a delicious holiday roast) and the, ahem, spiked eggnog. There's a reason why the classics stick around for so long — it's because they're good, but so is mixing things up a bit.
The iconic manhattan cocktail has withstood the test of time. Traditionally made with whisky, sweet vermouth and bitters, this tipple can knock your Christmas socks off. And we've got a delightful spin on the classic manhattan recipe that is sure to get you into the holiday spirit.
Chotto Matte's Inca Manhattan recipe pays homage to this classic cocktail but adds some Nikkei flair (Peruvian ingredients, Japanese technique).
“Putting a Nikkei twist on a classic, the Inca Manhattan tastes like Christmas in a glass. Aromatic and full-bodied, the unique blend of ingredients makes this cocktail a popular hit all year round, especially in the lead-up to the holiday season," says beverage manager Gabor Fodor.
He continues: "The gently spicy recipe is festive perfection and a personal favourite of mine. The versatile flavours complement many dishes and its simple, yet refined method makes it easy to create when hosting friends and family.” Now, that sounds like a drink!
