The Manhattan is a classic cocktail that has been around for over a century and continues to be a staple in bars and lounges around the world. This sophisticated drink is a simple blend of whiskey, vermouth, and bitters, but its flavours are anything but ordinary. Whether you’re an experienced mixologist or a beginner looking to expand your cocktail repertoire, the Manhattan is a must-try.
To add even more flavours and sophistication to the drink, we will be infusing it with cannabis! Not only can you infuse flavours and aromas from the cannabis terpenes, but you can also infuse the THC/CBD content into the drink as well for the psychoactive effects.
What Type of Whiskey Should I Use?
When it comes to the whiskey, rye is the traditional choice for a Manhattan, but bourbon works just as well. If you haven’t already got some weed infused whiskey, check out our guide on how to make cannabis infused whiskey. It’s very simple to make and you will need it for this recipe.
