Mountain Spice Manhattan
A unique twist on a classic Manhattan cocktail.
Inspired by the comforting warmth and rustic elegance of Nepalese Raksi, this twist on a classic Manhattan brings together spiced Cardamaro with the earthy, nutty notes of millet-based Raksi. Accented by a dash of orange bitters, the result is a complex, subtly sweet cocktail with a whisper of mountain air and golden grains.
Ingredients:
- 2 oz Raksi Whiskey
- 1 oz Cardamaro
- 2 dashes orange bitters
- Orange peel, for garnish
Method:
Add Raksi, Cardamaro, and bitters to a mixing glass filled with ice. Stir until well-chilled and properly diluted. Strain into a chilled coupe glass. Express the oils of an orange peel over the drink and use as garnish.
