Met Manhattan | Cocktail Party

Met Manhattan

With an ingredient list that looks more like ice cream toppings than a proper cocktail, it’s quite a shock that the Met Manhattan turns this good! It’s definitely bourbon-forward, with strong orange notes and a warm, mild sweetness from the butterscotch liqueur.

Unsurprisingly, the Met Manhattan is a 90s drink – albeit one that manages to appeal to modern palates. It hails from the Met Bar at London’s Metropolitan Hotel, according to Difford’s Guide.

This one comes in on the small side, which is probably for the best; it gets sweeter and less pleasant as it warms up. Serve it in a dainty cocktail glass, or else over ice in a short glass.

Really Good App

We downloaded the app after seeing it as one of the top posts on /r/cocktails, and we've been playing around with it and adding our ingredients to the list. While it's not an all inclusive list of ingredients (missing some creme de ), it's a solid overall app and tosses out some truly spectacular recipes based on what you have in your liquor cabinet. Minor quibbles for an otherwise fantastic application!
