Serve this warm twist on the classic Manhattan for a cold fall gathering, featuring Smoked Blade & Bow Bourbon.

The Cinnamon Raisin Manhattan takes a tried and true cocktail formula and upgrades it with richness and complexity. The honey, vanilla and white pepper spice of Blade & Bow Bourbon marry beautifully with the raisin note from the sherry, all of which are complemented by a whisper of cinnamon smoke. A familiar favorite flavor combination gets new life in the glass. Cheers!
