IMPERFECT MANHATTAN

The recipe for Perfect Manhattan is surely known to all, a combination of Dry and Sweet Manhattan that is perfect for those of us who have a palate that is neither too dry nor too sweet.

The game is to turn this traditional cherry into a veil of gelatin, which allows us to have the taste of this classic “ornament” of the classic cocktail, but also an aesthetic variant, with all the usual flavor but with a different way of enjoying it …
