Daphane Limoncello

LIMONCELLO MANHATTAN

You never feel more like an old-school Hollywood actor than when you’re drinking a Manhattan. I hemmed and hawed about changing the name of this drink, but I decided it’s too classic. You need to know what you’re getting.

What you’re getting is all the classic balance of the alcohol punch against a bit of sweetness. You’re also gaining the lighter and hazier appearance of the limoncello, making for a distinctive twist on the standard Manhattan.
