This cocktail is an uptick from the classic bourbon Manhattan. Developed by @keepitcrafted in NYC, it adds the depth of our Root Beer syrup and the top notes of a good coffee & cocoa bitters to the standard bar drink. It's a fun one, especially for those dark liquor lovers out there who also have an affinity for root beer and coffee.
