Instructions
The legend behind this drink revolves around the young artist Simone Weingarnter and her time spent in the bars in Manhattan NYC
Apparantly her favourite cocktail was of course the Manhattan but she found that it produced too much appetite when drunk during the day
She wanted a Manhattan but something she could sit on for a while without the hunger and the quick heating of the classic Manhattan
This was her solution a tall Manhattan with a ginger ale throw that by association became the Manhattan Skyscraper.Fill glass with 34 ice
Run orange peel around rim
Pour bourbon then red vermouth in the glass over the ice then stir
Twist peel into glass then spike the twisted peel and cherry on a tooth pick and throw into glass
Pour ginger ale according to tasteglass size
Stir then pull the garnish back up so it sits on top of the ice
We recommend using a highball glass for this cocktail.
