Maple Walnut Manhattan

Description

Maple softens the whiskey’s oak, and walnut tincture adds a dry, nutty edge as the bitters come through. Expressed peel gives the first sip a brighter aroma. Despite the Manhattan name, this build drinks closer to a maple Old Fashioned, with whiskey clearly at the centre.

  • 10 ml Maple syrup
  • 2 dashes Bitters
  • 5 ml Walnut tincture
  • Ice
  • Expressed citrus peel

Equipment needed

Instructions

  1. Add the liquid ingredients to a mixing glass with plenty of ice.
