The nightcap end of the menu. Stirred, chilled and served up. Whiskey Pop stands in for the rye, so it lands sweeter and rounder than the original.

By Whiskey Pop

Whiskey Pop is a root beer float flavored whiskey blended and bottled in San Diego County, California. Natural root beer and vanilla flavors on smooth whiskey warmth — sarsaparilla and creamy vanilla up front, a mellow, easy finish. 35% ALC/VOL, 70 proof. A 130-year-old dessert, given proof....

1. Add Whiskey Pop, vermouth and both bitters to a mixing glass. 2. Fill with ice and stir for about thirty seconds, until the glass frosts. 3. Strain into a chilled coupe. 4. Drop in the brandied cherry. 5. Express the orange peel over the surface and serve.

Editor's Note

A classic Manhattan build that swaps spicy rye for a sweeter, rounder whiskey base. Vanilla bitters and an orange twist lean it firmly into dessert territory for a smooth, aromatic nightcap.
