Manlift-hatten

Elevated Classics

A bold take on the Manhattan featuring Tallman’s 75th Reserve Indiana Straight Bourbon Whiskey, sweet vermouth, dark cherry, and black walnut bitters.

Smooth going up. Strong coming down.

Why “Manlift-hatten”?

Named for the equipment that helps crews reach the toughest spots safely and steadily.

The Manlift-hatten takes the timeless Manhattan and gives it a Tallman twist. Elevated flavor. Solid foundation. No unnecessary nonsense.

Because the classics usually became classics for a reason.

Unlike fax machines. Or meetings that could’ve been emails.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz Tallman 75th Reserve Indiana Straight Bourbon Whiskey
• 1 oz sweet vermouth
• 2 dashes black walnut bitters
• 1 dash Angostura bitters
• 1 bar spoon Luxardo cherry syrup
• Luxardo cherry
• Orange peel
• Ice

Method:

1. Add bourbon, sweet vermouth, bitters, and cherry syrup to a mixing glass with ice.
2. Stir for 25-30 seconds until chilled and properly diluted.
3. Strain into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass.
4. Garnish with a Luxardo cherry and express orange peel over the top.

Tallman Tip:

Keep your vermouth refrigerated after opening.

Warm, forgotten vermouth sitting in a cabinet for six months is how good cocktails become cautionary tales.

What You’ll Taste:

• Rich caramel bourbon
• Dark cherry sweetness
• Warm baking spice
• Toasted walnut
• Smooth herbal finish

Spirit-forward but approachable.

Like good leadership.

Pairs Well With:

• Steak sliders
• Charcuterie boards
• Smoked almonds
• Bourbon-glazed pork
• Explaining to someone why “quick fixes” usually aren’t
