What Is a Manhattan Cocktail?

Before we dive into our modern take on this classic cocktail, let's explore its roots. The Manhattan is one of the finest and oldest cocktails, traditionally made with whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters. This iconic drink dates back to the late 19th century, reportedly first crafted at the Manhattan Club in New York City. Over the years, it has evolved but remains a staple in the world of sophisticated cocktails.

Why Choose Mezcal for a Manhattan?

Mezcal brings a uniquely smoky flavor that transforms the traditional Manhattan into an exhilarating experience. By substituting whiskey with Mezcalum, our exceptional mezcal crafted in Oaxaca, Mexico, this recipe honors the classic cocktail while celebrating the vibrant spirit of Mexico. Mezcalum's commitment to zero carbs, zero sugar, zero additives, and all-natural ingredients makes our Mezcal Manhattan not just delicious but also a cleaner, more natural choice for cocktail enthusiasts.

How Does Mezcalum Enhance the Manhattan?

At Mezcalum, our mezcal is not just a drink but a narrative of Mexico's rich heritage and time-honored traditions. Using Espadin and the rare Cuishe agave, our Mezcal Manhattan offers a taste that's as authentic as it is enchanting. The smoky notes of our mezcal, distilled by the skilled hands of Maestro Mezcalero Carlos Méndez Blas, make every sip a journey through the heart of Oaxaca.

How Many Calories Are in a Mezcal Manhattan?

While the exact number of calories can vary, a typical Mezcal Manhattan made with Mezcalum mezcal, which has zero carbs and sugars, contains fewer calories than its whiskey-based counterpart. It's a guilt-free indulgence for those who are mindful of their intake.
