Lyre’s Manhattan

The Manhattan is the Midnight Cowboy of cocktails (minus poor Dustin Hoffman kicking the bucket in the back of a Greyhound). Start with a big pour of American Malt - that's the country boy trying to make his way in the Big Apple. Throw in some fruity, slightly bitter locals, stir and serve. “I'm drinkin' here!”

Glass:

• Martini glass or small coupette

Ingredients:

• 60mL Lyre's American Malt
• 15mL Lyre's Aperitif Rosso
• 2 dashes aromatic bitters
• Garnish: maraschino cherry

Instructions:

1. Add all ingredients in the shaker.
2. Stir briefly with ice, strain into glass.
3. Serve.
