Perfect Manhattan
My go-to Perfect Manhattan is all about balance, and this build nails it. The secret is swapping traditional dry vermouth for Dolin Blanc. Its softer, floral character plays beautifully against the spicy rye, creating a layered cocktail that’s sophisticated, balanced, and just incredibly sippable.
