Manhattan Highball
+ 1 Likes
Submitted on: April 16, 2026
Classic meets crisp. 🍒✨ This is what happens when a timeless icon gets a refreshing lift. The bold, whiskey-forward backbone of a Manhattan, lengthened into something lighter, brighter, and endlessly sippable. Effervescent, slightly bittersweet, and built for slow evenings or easy conversation. That deep crimson glow? That’s your signal to take a sip and stay awhile. Sometimes you don’t need to reinvent a classic… just give it a little room to breathe.

In a highball glass filled with ice add whiskey, vermouth and bitters. Top with tonic and stir gently to incorporate. Garnish with a cocktail cherry and enjoy!
Editor's Note
Rye and sweet vermouth meet tonic in this highball, transforming a heavy classic into a crisp, effervescent sipper.
