Manhattan
Available off-the-menu as a customized order, this classic is made using Johnny Drum Kentucky Bourbon, plus rye whisky and vermouth. The high alcohol glassful’s just the ticket after a hearty American meal. “Digestives were originally made with American whiskies—rye or bourbons, which give different flavors,” says The Black Swan’s beverage manager Kamil Foltan. “Aromatic drinks—like negronis, martinis, Old Fashioneds and Manhattans—consist of spirit, vermouth and bitters; all of which help with digestion.”
From $18 at The Black Swan.
Ca Phe Sua Da #2
