Cuban Manhattan

A Myatt’s Fields adaptation of the Manhattan.

Cuban rum, two vermouths and grapefruit ABV 24.5%

One 75ml serving of Cuban Manhattan contains 177 calories

The Manhattan’s architecture is forgiving if you understand it. The relationship between spirit and sweet vermouth is the thing, and aged rum navigates that relationship differently but just as well as rye.

We use a dark rum with enough character to hold its own against the vermouth, add Angostura bitters, and age the combination for six weeks. The result is fuller and softer than a classic Manhattan. The rum’s natural sweetness means the vermouth does not have to work as hard, and the whole thing settles into something warmer and more languorous.

No apocryphal origin story. Just a very good drink.
