Highland Fling

A robust and sophisticated variation of the classic Manhattan that swaps traditional rye or bourbon for the smoky depth of Scotch Whisky. The sweetness of the vermouth is balanced by the citrus notes of orange bitters, while the savory olive garnish adds a distinctive old-school finish.
