The New York nightlife is one that never seems to end. The city that never sleeps.

Manhattan Nights

• 2 oz Phillips Union Vanilla Whiskey
• 1 oz Sweet Vermouth
• 2 dashes Angostura bitters

Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with crushed ice. Shake well and strain into chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.

Much smoother than your traditional Manhattan, with just a bit of vanilla sweetness on the end for those who don’t like the bite of a classic Manhattan with rye.

Cheers!
