Stocking Stuffers for the Sophisticated Guy
WHO IS HE?
Holidays are just around the corner and we've prepared a gift guide for everyone on your list. This week, we are tackling the sophisticated guy!
Who is the sophisticated guy? He is the guy that believes in style and intelligence, who has impeccable etiquette. Carries himself classy and seems to be a gentleman. He makes sure to invest in himself: from hygiene to his outfits and everything in between!
DRINK OF CHOICE?
When the sophisticated gentleman walks into a bar, whats his drink of choice?
A Manhattan!
The Manhattan became a popular cocktail across the world shortly after it was invented. Its birth place was (obviously) in New York City’s Manhattan Club, some time around 1880.
To make this classic cocktail:
Combine your preferred Rye Whiskey and some sweet vermouth- 2 parts rye whiskey to 1 part vermouth. Add a few dashes of bitters. Stir will in a mixing glass with ice. Pour into a chilled cocktail glass.
Garnish with a maraschino cherry.
Cheers!
