The Best Manhattan

aka My Man’s Hattie


My hubs, Ronnie, is a big whiskey guy. He collects super premium bottles, and everyday whiskeys with so much enthusiasm, it’s infectious. His favorite cocktail is the Manhattan, which I also happen to love. A Manhattan is the perfect accompaniment to a fall day, a cold winter night, a summer campfire, or a million other scenarios. I just recently upgraded Ronnie’s game game big time by getting him a custom ice cube stamp and some really nice crystal whiskey glasses. 10/10 recommend for the whiskey lover rin your life.
