Midnight Manhattan | Cocktail Party

Midnight Manhattan

The Midnight Manhattan was the winner of the Woodford Reserve’s “Master of the Manhattan” contest back in 2013. Invented by Detroit bartender Travis Fourmont, the recipe drops the traditional sweet vermouth and replaces it with a mixture of cherry brandy, blood orange liqueur, and Averna (an amaro with notes of anise, citrus, and savory herbs).

We can totally see why the Midnight Manhattan won the competition; it’s rich and flavorful, but brighter and more concentrated than the original. At Roast, Fourmont’s restaurant, it’s served with a flamed orange peel – a finishing touch we never skip when we make this recipe.

Far superior to any other cocktail app

I have only been using the app for a short time but already I can tell that it is far superior to any other cocktail app I have used until now. The user interface is easy to use and visually appealing, and the search function displays recipes as you type which will make this app easy and fast to use. Highly recommended for use as a bartender or server, or at home making drinks for a party or night in. The developer also promises recipes added regularly and the customer support is second to none.
