About our Manhattan
Big brother of the Martini, the Manhattan has long been the king of cocktails before being gradually replaced by its "brother". Born of course in New York, around the 1860s, it has a nebulous origin: some even attribute its creation to the bartender of the Manhattan Club during a party organized by… Winston Churchill's mother! Today, the Manhattan and its powerful aromas are making a strong comeback in the hearts of cocktail connoisseurs.
